Description:
|
They are an unlikely couple - Abbey Brown was a Scottish immigrant and Money Singh an Indian Sikh who had also arrived in New Zealand as a child. They meet at work and the rest, as they say, is history ... but not until they face the challenge of bringing together two diverse cultures and finding common ground.
Known as The Modern Singhs, they now share their experiences via social media, exposing a wide audience to many contemporary issues, amidst rich cultural traditions.
Narrated by both Abbey and Money, and written in simple, engaging prose, this is a fascinating account of a family and a marriage embracing difference.

Group enjoyed reading about the different cultures adapting to a new life. Some felt it was a little light and tended to lose interest before finishing the book. Good discussion in our very cosmopolitan group. |

An easy read. Excellent notes. Some felt it a little trite. Led to great discussion of intercultural relationships and cultures in general. |
