Where is Ana Amara?
Description
Ana Amara is a Syrian journalist who has been living in Britain for a decade after escaping the war in Syria. She meets a caring British woman who becomes her partner and moves with her brothers move into Jennifer's house. But the brothers disapprove of the two women's relationship. They move out and sever contact with the women.
Ana is investigating the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers by Britain's new Rightist government and publishing her findings with international human rights organizations. Then, Ana disappears. Jennifer's frantic search for her leads to others in the immigrant community and to Parliament, where Jennifer hopes to find MPs (Members of Parliament) who will help her.
A lower-level civil servant with oversight responsibilities is bothered by a rge, unexplained budget increase for housing refugees. He decides to visit a camp to see what he can learn. The camp troubles him. He shares "off the record" what he observed with a member of the opposition, MP Dame Edith. With three of her colleagues in the Commons, she agrees to look into the situation and to inquire about Ana Amara.
Meanwhile, members of the immigrant community inside and outside the deportation camps are terrified by increasing disappearances and seizures of immigrants and by growing British Islamophobia. As the months pass, hope fades that the intrepid Gang of Four MPs will be able to find Ana and learn what is happening in the privately run deportation camps.
Jennifer, Ana's brothers, the civil servant, the four MPs, and Muslims in Britain worry that Britain's anti-immigrant government will cracks down further as they scover that foreign billionaires, the military, arms manufacturers, academics, and autocratic governments of nations are collaborating with the party in power in Britain. Will Europe's oldest democracy ever again be a safe haven? And where is Ana Amara?
