This is a funny coincidence. I've just been writing a review of ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’ I was asked to do by a UK newspaper. It’s actually a very insightful book. It’s a huge relief to know that Pakistani Muslims are not the only ones who create little community-states in the West, with all of their home country prejudices, feuds, superstitions and cultural baggage preserved intact, and without adherence to the founding principles of their religion. I have been invited to the Sydney Writers’ Festival this May, so I hope to see you there. Thank you for this very kind review of my book, ‘Unimagined’.

It's called 'Fully Sikh". Actually, I made that up.. I also recommend Satyender Singh’s story on growing up as a Sikh in South West Sydney. It’s called ‘Fully Sikh”.
