Reem is a Syrian refugee who has arrived in London, trying to discover the whereabouts of her

10-year old brother, Adar. Obsessed with history and consumed by her fragmented memories of

home, Reem is also hiding secrets she hopes will never be revealed.

After being placed in a tower block, she befriends Leah; a single mother who has been forced to

leave her expensive South Kensington townhouse. Their unlikely friendship supports them as

they attempt to find their place in a relentless, heaving city, and come to terms with the homes

they left behind.

Both bold and timely, The Tower shows how Reem and Leah's lives change and intersect in the

wake of individual and communal tragedy, as well as in their struggle to adapt to a rapidly

shifting society.
