Description
Mihir Bose's life was forever changed by a single act of kindness from a Home Office official, Mr Crombie. Born in Kolkata in 1947, Bose had dreamed of making a life in Britain, but faced numerous challenges, including racism and social exclusion. In this absorbing account, Bose reflects on his experiences and the dramatic changes that have taken place in Britain since the 1960s.
From the days when Indian food was shunned, to the struggles of finding accommodation and forming relationships, Bose recounts the difficulties he faced as a foreigner in a predominantly white society. Yet, despite these challenges, he persevered and went on to build a successful career as a writer. Bose's story is a powerful exploration of the complexities of Britain's imperial legacy and its ongoing impact on society today.
As India continues to grapple with its own complex past, Bose's account serves as a timely reminder of the need for ongoing reflection and growth. This is a thought-provoking and deeply personal exploration of identity, community, and the power of kindness in shaping our lives.
