Émigré Journeys by ʻAbdullāh Ḥusain PDF Summary

Book Description: As a young man in the early 1960s, Amir leaves his small village in Pakistan to make his way in the world. He comes to Britain as an illegal alien and embarks on a life of dodgy jobs, cheap housing and rip-off landlords, of letters home and dreams of belonging. Thirty years on, Amir now has a home and family, including Parvin, his nineteen-year-old daughter. Parvin has a mind of her own. She answers back, she refuses to do as her father says. As Amir and Parvin battle it out, Amir remembers his early years in Birmingham, specifically a brutal crime of passion which profoundly altered the course of his life. From the leading novelist in the Urdu language, Emigr? Journeys is a poignant comedy of outsiders caught between two worlds and seeking an identity.
