A magnificent debut novel which is set to be the WHITE TEETH of 2002.

THE IMPRESSIONIST is a comic saga about history, identity and home.

A boy is born in Agra - half Indian, half English - at the dawn of the twentieth century.

Ejected from his father's house as a teenager when his true parentage is revealed, he embarks on an unforgettable odyssey in search of a home and an identity.

Set against the vast, colourful background of colonial India, England and Africa, this epic novel brings to life a riotous cast of characters, and asks what it means to be Indian or English, black or white, or both.
