About this title

Synopsis

It is in large part a love letter to London where Iqbal Ahmed has lived and worked for the last twenty-five years. The author reflects on London and his changing relationship to it over the years as a dedicated cyclist, coffee house habitué, hotel worker and father. His perspective as an immigrant highlights an unfamiliar side to the city that enables the reader to discover it afresh. The book also offers poignant insights into Iqbal s country of origin, Kashmir.
