I always find that the British immigrant's story is so different than that of the American immigrant. There's such a strong tinge of bitterness even in the British-raished generation. Thank goodness for the American dream. I like how Abdullah Hussein jumped back and forth between the present and past. I did not like the daughter's story at all except for the milk bottle/lota struggle. Maybe, it was that I didn't like the young woman she had become. The father's struggle as an illegal immigrant was much more poignant.
