  In India, at the birth of the last century, an infant is brought howling into the world, his remarkable paleness marking him out from his brown-skinned fellows. Revered at first, he is later cast out from his wealthy home when his true parentage is revealed. So begins Pran Nath's odyssey of self-discovery - a journey that will take him from the streets of Agra, via the red light disrict of Bombay, to the green lawns of England and beyond - as he struggles to understand who he really is.

  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.
