Beschreibung:
Umi Sinha was born in the military hospital in Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1952 to an English mother and Indian father. She grew up in India in the decade following Independence, when there was deeply held resentment against the British. She moved to Britain in 1968 during the backlash against the mass immigration of Asians who had been expelled from Uganda and Kenya. The experience of being an outsider looking for a place to belong, along with the impact of history ¿ political and personal ¿ on individual lives, is a major theme in her writing.
Set during the years of the British Raj, this debut novel examines love, loss, race and ethnicity, homeland and belonging. With appeal to fans of E.M. Forster, A.S. Byatt and Rohinton Mistry.
