In Hand Me Down World a woman washes ashore in Sicily. She has come from north Africa to find her son, taken from her when he was just days old by his father and stolen away to Berlin.

With nothing but her maid’s uniform and a knife stashed in a plastic bag, she relies on strangers to guide her passage north. Lloyd Jones, the award-winning author of Mr Pip discusses his new haunting and beautiful work with ABC Radio National’s Ramona Koval.
