The Tale of Two Countries Book Information:

ronment seemed to have completely overshadowed his genes. He was getting more and more anglicized with every passing year and almost felt embarrassed of being the son of his parents. He felt that they were out of tune with life in Britain.' When a young Gursevak Grewal first sees Sukhvinder Kaur in Lahore, it is love at first sight for both of them. But then the country is brutally ripped apart, forcing the young lovers to push their emotions back and begin an arduous journey back to their country-India. Having survived the horrors of Partition, the couple begins another journey-of blissful matrimony. Supporting each other through the various ups and downs of life, they migrate to England, start a business and see the birth of their only child, Gursukh, in due course. Everything seems perfect, yet the couple makes one last journey-this time, back to India. What makes them take this journey? Weaving history with fiction, The Tale of Two Countries is a moving saga of a family as well as a commentary on the lives of hundreds of Grewals who, lured by life abroad, take the plunge, and have to deal with both the pressure to make good in the alien land as well as the longing for the motherland left behind. The Tale of Two Countries deftly mixes historical elements like India's Partition and racial strife in England with fiction. The author beautifully describes the rural and urban ethos in India near about its Independence and later of England. He has also highlighted the anxieties on the minds of migrants as they take the plunge. The book also talks about the family life, as it has evolved during the present times. Besides, it delicately deals with the plight of a cancer-ridden wife, who begs for euthanasia and, strangely, her husband supports her decision. An emotional roller coaster, The Tale of Two Countries makes for a riveting read.
