Biographical note
Katherine Twamley is John Adams Research Fellow at the Social Science Research Unit in the Institute of Education, University of London, UK.
This book compares understandings and experiences of love and intimacy of one distinct cultural group – Gujarati Indians – born and brought up in two different countries. In a rapidly globalizing world, this comparative ethnographic study explores how the context in which we are brought up shapes our most intimate attachments and family lives.
