Whether the protagonists are dealing with migration or climate change, acts of terrorism or the intricacies of family relationships, each story turns on a moment that touches the human condition, connecting us to a single encounter. With a finger on the political and cultural pulse, Ultramarine is a generous, finely-tuned collection for the times we live in.
