an and they feel the spark between them. Not long afterwards, Diana's parents are sitting in an aeroplane for the first time in their lives, heading for Turkey, anxiously wondering what s in store for them. Given the situation, it is quite surprising that they see no reason for concern, and the language isn't a problem either. Without being able to exchange a word, there is an immediate mutual understanding: two hardworking families, labourers who, despite the differences in age, religion and origin, only want the best for their children. Ahmet Polat now realizes that all those years in which he had sought acceptance in life, he had been looking at the wrong people. In 1976, before he had even been born, both his grandfathers had taken care of that for him already. This book places the contemporary feelings and discussions concerning labour migration, cultural differences, minorities and identity in an original and refreshing light.
