About
"When the genteely impoverished and rebellious Evelyn marries the charming Emil, scion of a rich and privileged Sinhalese family, she thinks that her dream of a life in England can now at last come true. So the couple and their young son Milton make the long journey from Ceylon to England in the 1950's and no matter how hard Evelyn wishes, England will not take kindly to strangers, especially families who are half black and half white."--Jacket.
