father's death, his family's corner shop represents everything he
tried to leave behind. But his mother insists on keeping the
business open, and Arjun finds himself being dragged back from
London, and forced into big decisions about his own relationship.

loyalties, loves and regrets. Praise for Empireland 'A fascinating

had been around when I was at school' SADIQ KHAN 'Balanced and
