- 'But for her looking glamorous in saris and formal Indian suits was part of the English peoples education
- 'said casually... "stupid bloody wog, stupid woggy wog'
- Every weekend was taken up with visiting Indian families or being invaded by them'
- 'as if committing them to memory would make up for not being with them'
- ' constant source of embarrassment to me that our front garden was the odd one out in the village.. bordered with various herbs'
- 'i wanted to shed my body like a snake slithering out of its skin'
- 'i desperately wanted to visit India'
- 'a part of me would be forever Indian'
- 'This food was not just something to fill a hole... it was the food their far-away mothers made and came seasoned with memory and longing'
- 'of course they would deify her, their own guilt and homesickness would see to that'
- 'But for her looking glamorous in saris and formal Indian suits was part of the English peoples education
