Where Have We Come, from the Reena and Nikesh University Series, is an autobiographical retelling of our experience at the birth of our son nearly thirty years ago, it provides an honest insight on how a couple growing up in multicultural Britain deal with depression, bereavement, child loss and misfortune while straddling both their British and their Indian heritage.
Now with Reading Group Guide
At the birth of their first child Reena and Nikesh discover their baby has had a severe brain haemorrhage, and family and friends rally around to help. But the family matriarch, Sarladevi, reminds Reena of the predictions of the Guru and Reena struggles to deal with her past. While Nik seeks comfort from Sarladevi with religious rituals and customs, Reena finds alternative medicine and support groups. Truths are revealed, and a wedge develops in their relationship.
Will the chasm created by their differences in dealing with the stresses and strains of looking after a sick child pull them apart?
Or will their love for each other and the eternal love of their child overcome the prejudices and customs observed by Nik's family?

Before she started writing South Asian melodrama, Saz had a successful career in Television Production and Teaching ...But her need to write stories has led to what she is doing now writing stories about people like her in multi-cultural Britain.
Saz gets her inspiration from listening to music, cooking and watching Bollywood, Hollywood and Independent films, hence the references to songs, food and films in all her books.
Her books are stories that make you think, for readers who like the multicultural layers of South Asian family melodrama, Bollywood style gatherings and lots of references to food. She draws on her upbringing in England and the layers of complexity of living with her Indian heritage and her Britishness and uses this to create stories to represent that.
