As far as Naj is concerned, identity is not the issue, he’s English; full stop. His Indian born parent’s, on the other hand, with their experience as immigrants, have a different perspective.
When they arrange a visit to India for him to visit his Grandmother, his ‘Journey Home’ turns out to be a life changing event.
He meets a Canadian Indian woman on a similar journey to himself in Delhi; an immediate rapport is struck between them. His ‘Journey Home’ becomes a baptism of fire; he experiences a rite of passage he will never forget.
