Travel

As a child in Kashmir, Iqbal Ahmed imagined a Great Britain as the mother country of the Empire, a place full of wonders and delight. Living in London, he goes in search of the nation he once dreamt of, visiting the many different cities and towns of his imagination to find them as something altogether different. On his journey, he encounters immigrants who struggle with English life, and the question of belonging. This book is the story of the journey from imagination to reality where the real nature of Britain reveals itself.
