About this ebook
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's return following the award-winning Behzti (Dishonour) and smash-hit Khandan (Family).
“This is family. Real flesh and blood, not out of a catalogue or an Oxo advert.”
Vira hasn't seen her sister Deesh for years. Deesh's kids, Amy and Bill, want to know why but nobody's telling them anything.
When Deesh invites her sister to Amy's flashy party, Vira reckons it's time to come home and move on. Time to stop watching the telly, get out of her council flat, stick on a glitzy sari and embrace her nearest and dearest.
But is it possible to forgive and forget? And when a family is built on lies, will it be destroyed by the truth?
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's first play Behsharam (Shameless) broke box office records when it was produced in 2001. Her second play Behzti (Dishonour) won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2005. Behzti rocked the world of theatre when it was cancelled after protests in Birmingham, forcing the playwright into hiding, sparking an international debate about offence and freedom of expression. In 2014, Khandan (Family) was co-produced by the Birmingham Rep and the Royal Court Theatre.
