Which part of ourselves is lost when life takes us somewhere new? A bride joining her husband in Britain yearns for the freedom of her student days in Sudan; a Scottish groom loses his way while visiting his prospective in-laws in Khartoum; a romance fails to bloom between a spoilt Sudanese girl and a working-class Scottish boy. Set against the backdrop of the British immigrant experience, these stories lay bare the everyday highs and lows encountered by those searching for a place where they belong. In this collection, powerful themes are explored with sensitivity and realism as we visit the spaces that lie between here and home.
