Description

A devastating decree is issued: all Ugandan Asians must leave the country in ninety days. For Asha and Pran, married a matter of months, it means abandoning the family business that Pran has worked so hard to save. As they prepare to leave behind their home and everything they know, they must confront the violence escalating in Kampala and the terrible secret about the expulsion that threatens to tear their family apart. Their journey takes them from the green hilltops of Kampala to the terraced houses of London, where they must navigate a new and unfamiliar world. Neema Shah's moving debut explores what it means to leave your home behind, what it takes to start again, and the lengths some will go to protect their loved ones. As they struggle to come to terms with their new reality, Asha and Pran must confront the complexities of their own identity and the true cost of their family's survival.
