The Exotic Rissole

By Tanveer Ahmed

At turns humorous, stirring, and bravely honest, this memoir considers what it means to grow up as a Bangladeshi-Australian in Sydney's western suburbs. Eleven-year-old Tanveer Ahmed lives an unpredictable and very entertaining double life--sampling the delights of Aussie cuisine, joining a cricket team that gets mistaken for a terrorist group, and hosting a Bollywood-style game show. Offering insight into the immigrant experience, this book is about the unexpected stories that emerge when cultures clash and a blend of identities define a single individual.
