On a different tack, I've just started reading a book called 'Brick Lane' (I think PH would know where Brick Lane is in London). It's about an 18 year old Bangladeshi who has an arranged marriage to a 40 year old nice man. It's set in 1968. I'm only on Chapter 2, but I'm already fascinated as to the outcome of this girl's life.
The writer was born in Bangladesh and brought up in England. Monica Ali.
So far the story has me gripped. The book was written about 5 years ago, but she was nominated for loads of prizes at the time.
