Bought from Birmingham Book Festival Pop-Up Bookshop using my staff discount. I got a free pen too. Woo-hoo!
Back cover blurb:
Mr Hai arrived in London in 1964. But while becoming British via a passport had been relatively easy, becoming English was something to be studied, and then passed on to his wife and children. No speaking Urdu, no long plaits, no salwar kameezes, and definitely no religion. But for Mr Hai's first-born daughter, Yasmin, being a second-generation British Asian was not quite so simple ... especially as the Muslim community was about to go through some very profound challenges.

I have finally read this. (I'm making an extra-special effort to read more non-fiction.) It's really insightful and thought-provoking. I will be mulling over it for some time to come, I think.
AVL for now. Will probably release on a local book swap shelf.
