Summary
A story of migration, identity and belonging, drawing on the stories of people from Audrey Osler’s mixed-heritage family, over three centuries.

Critics Review
Lovely, perceptive and timely… weaving the threads of colonialism, migration, mixed-race relationships and other life experiences into the tapestry of Britishness today, it is wonderful * Yasmin Alibhai-Brown *
The power is in the gentle, almost lyrically intimate force of the tale and its many messages, so courageously put, with generosity. Timely, affecting, and so darn necessary at this moment. Thank you, Audrey Osler, I say * Philippe Sands *
