Product Description
4:teens
'a very moving and personal reminiscence...will touch anyone's heart while also teaching readers about Indian traditions and culture
Review
'A timely memoir of her Anglo-Indian childhood which deepens the understanding of her novels . . . a unique record of dual heritage.' (The Times )
'Her story provides a fascinating - and not always comfortable - insight into the life of a family straddling two powerfully contrasting cultures.' (The Guardian )
'...offers an enlightening, mixed-race slant on Indian independence as well as an account of a pre-TV, all-skipping 1940s childhood. The contrast between grey, cabbage-scented England and the vibrant sensuality of India is revealing as well.' (The Independent )
'evocative and absorbing' (Writing Magazine, February-March 2003 )
'a very moving and personal reminiscence...Filled with the author's own delightful and poignant photos, this Anglo-Indian story will touch anyone's heart while also teaching readers about Indian traditions and culture.' (4:teens, April 2003 )
'a hilarious and informative account...It is something many mixed race children will be able to identify with.' (The Voice )
