Sugar, Sugar is a contemporary collection of short stories which reveals a rich and culturally diverse history behind India's migrant workers and one of the most abundant and controversial commodities in the world. Inspired by historical documents between 1838 and 1917, and the living memories of the descendents of indentured workers, Sugar, Sugar, spans five continents, travelling through time uncovering inspiring tales of courage and resilience.
'This collection adds a new dimension to the history of sugar, post emancipation, and shares a previously untold strand in the story of the making of contemporary Britain.' Joseph Harker, (Guardian). 'Lainy's stories ignite over and over: the desire to ask more questions than are answerable - the imagination kindled and smothered by layers of imponderables. So much that will never be known because that past is interred with their bones!' Clem Seecharan, Caribbean historian
