Hina Belitz

Mani and her parents are a dark-skinned family from the poorest area of Lahore. So the birth of her younger brother Nu with djinn-white skin and blood-red hair, raises eyebrows. When Mani’s father begins to suspect his wife of an adulterous affair with an Englishman, Mani, Nu and their mother are forced to flee Lahore for the safety of London where her life transforms in ways no one could ever guess.

Addy Mayford has always struggled with her identity. Brought up in a household of stories, food and faith by her Irish mother and Pakistani Nana, she feels constantly torn between the two sides of her upbringing. Since the death of her father, she's found contentment cooking delicious recipes from his home city of Lahore, despite the protestations of her mother that being a chef is no career for a young woman. It's only with the love of her gorgeous husband, Gabe, that she's truly found happiness.

When Addy stumbles across a secret that shatters her world, she desperately needs to escape and is drawn to the sights of Lahore and the family she's never known. Waiting for her there is Addy's final acceptance of who she is, and a long-buried family secret that will change her life for ever.
