Black orchids.

Slovo, Gillian. (Author).

Summary: Gillian Slovo's stunning new novel tells the story of why a girl gives up her much-loved father to the law. When the genteelly impoverished and rebellious Evelyn marries the charming Emil, she thinks that her dream of a life in England can now at last come true. So the family travels, with their young son, Milton from Ceylon to Tilbury Docks. But this is England in the 1950s and, no matter how hard Evelyn wishes that it would, England does not take kindly to strangers, especially families who are half black and half white.
