West Is West

Set in 1976, and following on from the events in the phenomenally successful EAST IS EAST, the sequel WEST IS WEST once more centres of the dysfunctional Khan family. The youngest member of the clan, Sajid, is caught between his father’s bludgeoning system of values and playground bullies. Using the bullying to his advantage, Mr Khan takes his son out of school and packs him off to live with his first wife, and the family he abandoned thirty years before, in the Punjab. Being back in the motherland and away from the distractions of contemporary Britain Khan hopes his son can be inducted into the traditions that he has struggled to introduce before. But is it too late?
