Nina's attempts to realise her dream of becoming an artist lead her to all sorts of deviousness and deceptions to hide the fact from her family and her arranged marriage fiance. (Difficult when she wins the Turner Prize and appears on TV!) Her solutions to some of her problems are rather extreme and only entangle her further in a web of deception. Good descriptions of a traditional Ugandan/Asian family living in modern suburban London add up to a cheerful and undemanding read.
