A language in common

A Language in Common is a vivid collection of stories based on the authro’s nine years as an adult education worker, mainly among women from India and Pakistan. These women have come as adults to live in Britain. They have, as yet, no common language; and the society in which they find themselves is alien, often hostile. Yet as they discover more about each other friendships develop across the boundaries of language and culture. "Teacher" is no longer teacher, "students" are no longer students… These stories explore community and relationship and their unique perception has the ability to unite us all.
