A book about history, friendship, family and what it means to belong, from the award-winning journalist

THE SALTIRE'S NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR
A GUARDIAN'S BEST MEMOIR AND BIOGRAPHY OF 2022

'Remarkable' The Times
'Achingly beautiful' Guardian
Beautiful in unusual and wonderful ways' Rebecca Solnit

This book is about two unlikely friends. One born in 1970s Britain to Indian immigrant parents, the other arrived from Nazi Germany in 1939, fleeing persecution.

This is a story of migration, racism, family, belonging, grief and resilience. It is about the state we're in now and the ways in which we carry our pasts into our futures.
