Janeen grew up in Florida, a place she loves and hates in equal measure, and now lives in London with her partner and three chaotic, incredible children. She's half-Pakistani, half-New Yorker, a lapsed lawyer, teacher, Muslim and Catholic. She's passionate about creating characters that are many things at once -- because she knows she's not alone in being a tangled mass of identities, always changing. When she's not writing, she's advocating for an education system that gives every kid a fair chance.
The evocative and moving story of two very different girls in contemporary London who discover a family connection stretching back over 100 years before in the faraway country of India, at a tumultous time in its history; friendships spanning the centuries. A wonderfully original, dual narrative story set both in the present day and in India in the years leading up to independence from the British. As an emerging friendship finds its parallel in the distant past, many similarities become obvious, such as the prejudice experienced by people with brown skin. Absorbing and insightful * Book Trust * This heartfelt historical story offers a glimpse into colonial India and shows how the past shapes the present. Highly recommended for UKS2 classes * School Reading List *
