Synopsis
As a child in Kashmir, Iqbal Ahmed imagined a Great Britain as the mother country of the Empire, a place full of wonders and delight. Living in London, he goes in search of the nation he once dreamt of, visiting the many different cities and towns of his imagination to find them as something altogether different. On his journey, he encounters immigrants who struggle with English life, and the question of belonging. This book is the story of the journey from imagination to reality where the real nature of Britain reveals itself.

Review
"'Fascinating, humorous and poignant.' The Times * 'A great tenderness of spirit suffuses this book.' Independent on Sunday * 'The literary equivalent of stopping in your tracks for a moment and looking about you. Sometimes, though, we don't have time. We need writers to do this for us. Iqbal Ahmed is one such writer.' Lillian Pizzichini * 'brilliantly observes the chilly, rootless life lived by many immigrants' Independent * 'fascinating humorous and poignant' The Times"
