This novel tells the fictional life story of a young mixed race woman, who is the daughter of a Kashmiri father and a Glasgow mother. Her mother has moved into her father's household as mistress, alongside his Muslim wife and the children from both relationships. Her whole life is a constant dramatic struggle against the rejection and hostility her background generates in both Glasgow's white and Asian communities, and the story graphically documents her fight to offer her own daughter a culture and traditions she can accept with pride.
