Cultural identity, women’s independence and the pressure to conform to British norms are the subjects of this bold and acute feature, which explores both British-Asian experience and the plight of recent immigrants.

While Majdhar feels her way towards confident self-determination, husband Afzal is torn between his heritage and his Western aspirations.
