"Kireät ihmiset keskustelevat ja taustalla pauhaa mollivoittoinen viulumatto. Ihan mahtavaa. Tätimäisten kansikuvien takiako olen vuosikausia väheksynyt Mike Leighia vastoin parempaa tietoani? Häpeä on nieltävä. Tämä on elämää."

" Marianne Jean-Baptiste Hortense Cumberbatch (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), a successful black middle class optometrist in London who was adopted as a child, has chosen to trace her family history after the death of her adoptive mother. After being warned by public officials about the troubles she could face by tracking her birth mother down, she continues her investigation and is baffled to learn that her birth mother is white; she does not resent this fact and wants to know more about her mother's "
