they will...' 1960s UGANDA. Hasan is struggling to run his family

rising prejudice threatens to sweep away everything he has
built.Present-day LONDON.Sameer, a young high-flying lawyer, senses
an emptiness in what he thought was the life of his dreams. Called
back to his family home by an unexpected tragedy, Sameer begins to
find the missing pieces of himself not in his future plans, but in
a past he never knew.___________________Moving between two
continents and several generations over a troubled century, We Are

resonant novel of love, loss, and what it means to find home.It is
the first work of fiction by Hafsa Zayyan, co-winner of the

exciting young novelists of today.___________________As featured in

All Birds of Uganda:'I connected with this book immediately ...
Racism, generational culture, love and family ties are all key
components of this novel by a really accomplished debut author who
I feel sure we are going to hear a lot more from.''I can't find the
words to describe how much I adored every, single, beautiful word
of this totally amazing story.If I could give this book more than 5
stars I would.''This is one of the best books I have read in a long
time and the writing is exceptional. A truly remarkable debut novel
that I will shout about from the rooftops.' 'What an amazing book.
Sensitively written, it covers so many issues.Family, religion,
racism, bullying, loyalty. Eloquent writing made me feel completely
part of the story ... An absolute gem of a book.''Zayyan
intricately weaves the often forgotten story of South Asian
migrants in Uganda, through past and present.Meticulously crafted,
beautifully and thoughtfully written, with complex characters, this
was an absolute pleasure to read.''A beautifully written story with
themes of race and emigration. This is an extremely accomplished
and readable story.'
