Nazneen is an eighteen-year-old Bangladeshi brought to Britain in an arranged marriage with almost no preparation - the only words she knows in English are "sorry" and "thank you." She must make a life with her much older, comically incompetent husband and survive her impoverished and violent surroundings in the Brick Lane territory of East London that has been the refuge for waves of immigrants from the eighteenth century onward.
Discussion led by Trish Reeves. From the TALK series, The Exile's Place.
