How to survive asylum - preview
Becoming English by Eva Tucker Starhaven ISBN 0-936315-28-8 £9
This is from someone who knows Someone who has spent a lifetime in another country after fleeing persecution and can tell us what it is like It has not been written in haste or before the full consequences of asylum have shown themselves over years So although Eva Tucker has written a novel with a young heroine, you can be reassured that this is real experience
Recent controversies over citizenship seem bizarre compared to the period Eva is writing about, when German Jews were keen to assimilate into British life Laura wishes passionately to become English as soon as possible although saddled with a mother whose accent stays stubbornly Germanic and who embarrasses her at every turn Mother isn’t literary either – another obstacle for the young devotee of English literature
