Coming from Anglo-Indian ancestry Meryl Dunton-Rose explores themes of race and dislocation in her new novel The Fuchsia Sari. As a teacher and educator who has lived across many continents and countries the search for a sense of belonging has always been an integral part of her life. Family history has again played a scaffolding role, as in A Patient Obsession, her first novel. Her grandparents’ lives in both India and England have been a source of curiosity for many years and their story has inspired her writing even while wishing she had paid more interest and asked more questions when young. The Fuchsia Sari is a recreation of her grandparents’ lives as they may or may not have lived them.
