The One Who

Wrote Destiny tells of three generations of an Indian family, most of whom have moved from Kenya to

England. What should be a simple set-up is rendered quite confusing.

Each character tells their own story, except one for some reason, which is told by strangers who appear to have little relevance to the overall story. It is a powerful study on the pervasiveness of racism. Unfortunately, this power is muddied by a fleeting focus on each character, as well as a hint of mysticism that isn’t fully addressed.
