humorous and moving

A compelling read for me.
As a half-Indian born in Britain, I can connect the people and their attitudes in the book to ones I have also experienced; from Yasmin's father's with overzealous aspirations to embrace what he thought was Britishness, to the obedient wife, and also the second generation British who start to reject their parents modern western attitudes.
These themes are not reserved solely for the British Desi population, these themes will be found in all migrant cultures (with the exception of most Brits retiring to the Costa Blanca), and so I hope that the book will be embraced by a wide audience.
