A fraught new(ish) mum. A toddler who doesn’t sleep. A big move.
Life has a funny way of coming full circle.
I couldn’t wait to leave my small neighbourhood up north, yet here we are, thinking of moving back. However, with a career in flux, older parents and in-laws that come with their own expectations, can I really leave my bubble in London to go back to all that?
The latest book in the award-winning series sees our fraught heroine face new challenges as she navigates life in the sandwich generation – having a small child and older parents to take care of. It’s funny, heartwarming and poignant.
Set against the backdrop of a changing social landscape, former journalist Halima Khatun’s The Secret Diary of a Fraught Bengali explores race, identity and belonging, in a way only she knows how.
