‘…outside environment 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…’ Having survived the horrors of Partition, young lovers, Guru and Sukhi, begin a journey of blissful matrimony.

Weaving history with fiction, The Tale of Two Countries is a moving saga of a family and as well as a commentary on the lives of hundreds like Grewals who, lured by life abroad, take the plunge, and have to deal with both the pressure to make good in an alien land as well as the longing for the motherland left behind.
