The story

Meena Kumar, a 11-year-old Sikh girl, lives with her family in the predominantly native British, working-class, fictional mining village of Tollington in the Black Country in 1972. Meena meets Anita, an Anglo-British, 14-year-old girl whom Meena comes to idolise. However, Meena finds it harder and harder to fit in as her Indian heritage keeps on resurfacing, and Anita's new boyfriend proves to hold strong racist attitudes toward those he regards as "darkies".
