  • "Maya and her family have moved to England from India - When her father disappears leaving them only deceit and debt they struggle to adapt to life in this strange grey, damp land."
  • "A magical novel of mothers and daughters, and the mystical power of food This novel follows the lives of Nalini and her children. Her husband arranges for the whole family to move to London, a far cry from their idyllic life in Bombay in India. But it seems that the children settle in quickly, rejecting the Indian identity that is so important to their mother. When Nalini's husband supposedly dies, she is left to piece their family back together in this strange city and, as for earning enough for them to live? The only thing she knows she can do well is cook ..."
  • "A magical mixture of East meets West, mothers in conflict with daughters, and the healing power of food. 'I cannot easily put into words why I told my children their father had died. What was I supposed to tell them' The truth' ''Monu, Mol, your father has had enough of responsibility, he has another family, he's gone, left us.' Maybe there are one hundred shades for explaining truth, a spectrum from light to dark, depending on the vulnerability of those who have to hear it. Things are not always clear cut, they are not either black or white, life just isn't like that.' Nalini and her two young children are transplanted from luxury in India to the bewildering confusion of London, only to be abandoned by her negligent husband. At first survival is a struggle, but Nalini turns to what she does best: cooking. Her mouthwatering pickles bring financial stability and domestic happiness, as well as affecting everyone who tastes them. Everyone, that is, except for her daughter, Maya. Maya loves fish fingers, burgers and chips. She's not interested in her history; that died with her father. Resisting the pull of her family, she follows her own chaotic journey which will take her back to India before she can face the truth about her parents, forgive them and herself ' and admit that lime pickle is delicious, after all."
