No New Land – M.G. Vassanji


No New Land – M.G. Vassanji

This is an excellent read!!

This book is set in Toronto at some point in the late 1970s/early 1980s and follows an Indian family from West Africa and their immigrant story. It is filled with little, poignant moments and many quiet, yet memorable characters that together, paint a very moving portrait of people in transition.

Best of all, Vassanji is able to capture all this in an easy going, understated style. Highly recommend to all, but especially for those with interest in immigrant/minority experiences.
