A proposito di questo titolo
Welcome to West India Dock Road in London's East End...
1938: Divya has made the long sea journey from India to England, employed as a nanny by a British family. But once they arrive, she is cruelly abandoned, with no means to return home. Afraid and alone, she faces prejudice and rejection… until she finds her way to an Irish-run boarding house on West India Dock Road and meets Jack, Charity and a host of unexpected friends.
Divya is a good cook, and preparing meals for the other immigrants, homesick for the food they were raised on, gives her a new sense of hope and purpose. In time, she opens a thriving curry house, beloved by the local communities.
But as war in Europe looms, Divya’s fragile sense of belonging – through her business, her friendships and budding romance with sailor Raghu – comes under threat.
A world away from home, will she ever truly find happiness in life, on West India Dock Road?
'A beautifully descriptive, original and emotional story. I loved Divya, she’s a very brave, strong and clever leading lady.' Jane Lark
'Beautifully told. I became immersed in Divya's world.' Patricia McBride
