Across the globe, more than 122 million people have been forced from their homes by conflict and crisis. Behind that vast number are individual lives: families uprooted, futures interrupted, journeys of unimaginable courage. In a time of hardening borders and deepening division, the charity Choose Love was founded to support and provide humanitarian aid to those in need.

In this powerful anthology, ten acclaimed writers are paired with ten people who have experienced displacement and the UK asylum system, working together to tell stories of resilience, humanity and hope. From unexpected friendships to life-changing encounters, these pieces explore the pivotal moments when love was transformed into action - when it became shelter, solidarity, courage and friendship.

Tender, urgent and profoundly humane, this book reveals the extraordinary force of ordinary kindness. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit and a call to recognise one another not as strangers, but as neighbours.

Edited by Inua Ellams, Choose Love features new work by Yomi Adegoke, Guy Gunaratne, Sabrina Mahfouz, Dawn O'Porter, Bohdan Piasecki, Max Porter, Monika Radojevic, Nikesh Shukla and Tania Tay.
