# Homelands: The History of a Friendship - Hardcover

by **Chitra Ramaswamy** (Author)

**Guardian - Best Books of the Year**  

This book is about _two unlikely friends_. One born in 1970s Britain to Indian immigrant parents, the other arrived from Nazi Germany in 1939, fleeing persecution.

This book is about _common ground_. It is a story of migration, anti-Semitism, racism, family, belonging, grief and resilience.

This book is about _the past and the present_. It is about the state we're in now and the ways in which we carry our pasts into our futures.

This book is about _homelands_.
