A Sense of Ourselves
Four writers and immigrants to Britain give an outsider's perspective on Britishness.

Thirteen years later, she returned to Britain from New Zealand and has made her home in Edinburgh. She contrasts her impressions formed as a teenager landing in a country where for her peers Bulgaria meant a character from the Wombles with those she has formed as a mature adult.
