| Summary: | Set in a mining town in the Australian outback, NIGHTS IN THE ASYLUM is the story of a collision between Aziz, an illegal Afghan immigrant on the run from detention, and Miri, a woman who is lost in her own life. Miri flees from her grief at her daughter's death, and her husband's infidelity, to her Cuban grandmother's old house in a town where outsiders and any hint of eccentricity are viewed with suspicion. Then Zett Moran and her baby also seek refuge there from her abusive policeman husband, sparking off a chain of events that will disturb their already fragile peace. |
