In her mid-twenties, shortly before her father's death, Davina
Quinlivan moved from her family home in west London to begin a
transitory life in the countryside: here she felt restless and
rootless, stuck between Deep England and the technicolour memories
of her family's migration story. Beginning in colonial India and
Burma, from the indigenous tribes from which the women in
Quinlivan's family are descended, and reaching the streets of
Southall and Ealing, the stories of her ancestors persisted in the
tales, the language, the cooking and culture of her family.
Quinlivan conjures a place between continents and worlds in a
lyrical debut of migration, and homecoming, marking the arrival of
an exceptional new voice.
