But, as the daughter of the only Punjabi family in the mining village of Tollington, her struggle for independence is different from most.Meena wants fishfingers and chips, not chapati and dhal; she wants an English Christmas, not the usual interminable Punjabi festivities - but more than anything, she wants to roam the backyards of working-class Tollington with feisty Anita Rutter and her gang.Blonde, cool, aloof, outrageous and sassy, Anita is everything Meena thinks she wants to be. Meena wheedles her way into Anita's life, but the arrival of a baby brother, teenage hormones, impending entrance exams for the posh grammar school and a motorcycling rebel without a future threaten to turn Anita's salad days sour.Anita and Me paints a comic, poignant, compassionate and colourful portrait of village life in the era of flares, power cuts, glam rock, decimalisation and Ted Heath. It is a unique vision of a British childhood in the Seventies, a childhood caught between two cultures, each on the brink of change.823.9/14Syal Meeraoth1450849AUDIO9910149035303321Anita and Me3650497UNINA03842nam 2200673 a 450 991096521690332120251116182726.00-8165-9922-X(CKB)2550000001113386(OCoLC)857277763(CaPaEBR)ebrary10748747(SSID)ssj0000980891(PQKBManifestationID)11592784(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000980891(PQKBWorkID)10968807(PQKB)11554724(MiAaPQ)EBC3411851(OCoLC)867740531(MdBmJHUP)muse28097(Au-PeEL)EBL3411851(CaPaEBR)ebr10748747(CaONFJC)MIL513251(OCoLC)923439230(EXLCZ)99255000000111338620130329d2013 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrEncountering life in the universe ethical foundations and social implications of astrobiology /edited by Chris Impey, Anna H.
