Beautifully written, soberly devised, exquisitely sensitive to nuance. It grapples with identity fractured, identity remade, identity reclaimed, and elevates memoir to a literary art form.' Bidisha, journalist, broadcaster, film-maker, and author of Asylum and Exile: Hidden Voices 'Annie Zaidi's gripping memoir of her brave, persistent and poignant search for a place to call her own will ring many bells in many hearts. It is a timely account of the uprooting and alienation of a contemporary Indian woman who is one amongst a multitude of other minorities.' Lord Meghnad Desai, Member of the House of Lords, and author of The Raisina Model: Indian Democracy at 70 and The Rediscovery of India 'Zaidi resets the perspectives from which we understand and remember the experience of home. With the same intuitiveness that permeates her sensitive fictions, she uses the personal to lay bare the new universality of home, redefining it as an unsettled, turbulent condition that we must continuously contend, negotiate, and compromise with to our incremental loss.' Musharraf A. Farooqi, author of Between Clay and Dust and The Merman and the Book of Power '(A) haunting evocation of belonging and dislocation in contemporary India.'
