the long version

In the year Twix and Smash are invented and Englebert Humperdinck is top of the charts, Dilly is born into the chaotic Shah family household in Bradford, West Yorkshire. One of six children, she grows up spirited and mischievous, not prepared to be the dutiful Muslim daughter her parents demand of her. ... Against a backdrop of casual 1970s racism, tough schools and a colourful neighbourhood, Dilly mounts her one-girl campaign to be an individual.
