Marina Wheeler KC is an Anglo-Indian, London-based barrister and mediator. Her Sikh mother, Dip Singh, met and married Marina’s father, the journalist Charles Wheeler, when he was the BBC’s South East Asia correspondent based in Delhi.

In The Lost Homestead Marina delves into her family’s past, drawing on her mother’s oral history, accounts from her Indian family, her own research and travels to both India and Pakistan. She writes about a world left behind when the Punjab was divided, and about how the new nations and peoples struggled to recover from the horror of this event.
