When a community of refugees mysteriously arrives from another world, their appearance challenges everything modern society believes about borders, culture, faith, and belonging.
Separated from their homeland and struggling to adapt to unfamiliar customs, the newcomers face suspicion, political controversy, and personal hardship. At the same time, the people around them must decide whether compassion, fear, or self-interest will guide their response.
Rather than focusing on technology or warfare, The Necessary Beggar examines the human side of speculative fiction, using an extraordinary premise to explore timeless questions about immigration, community, and moral responsibility.
Susan Palwick delivers a thoughtful and emotionally resonant novel that remains highly relevant in an increasingly interconnected world.
