Charlotte Gill's father is Indian. Her mother is English. This is an exploration of diasporic intermingling involving two deeply eccentric parents from worlds apart and their half-brown children as they experience the paradoxes and conundrums of life as it's lived between race checkboxes. A funny, turbulent, and ultimately heartwarming book about the brilliant messiness of a mixed-race family--both a deeply personal memoir and an excavation into ethnicity, ancestry, and race.
