Sinopsis
Homesick is a composite novel; a series of seventeen short stories expertly interwoven to tell the story of a community of Sri Lankan immigrants carving out new lives in, a sometimes hostile, Britain. The stories are about individuals; alcoholic Kumar, dyslexic Preethi, Mr Basit, sisters Lolly and Deirdre, aged Dorothy. Individually they struggle with issues of abuse, love, death, cultural identity and change. Collectively they illustrate the need for community in a vibrant, but fractured, society. In this ambitious novel Fernando ultimately asks awkward questions about the political and social status of immigrants in the UK.
