This is truly a stunning short story told simply and powerfully. “Laundry” by Deborah Ellis captures a shocking moment in the life of a young boy but gently wraps it in a universal truth. Masud is an 11 year old in a Libyan migrant centre who takes a difficult step towards manhood - his step alone to take.
