Goodreads asked Navjot Kaur:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Navjot Kaur Many, many years ago I watched a documentary made by film students for a festival in LA. It told the story of a family who had migrated to Italy from Panjab. The father worked in a local dairy making Parmigiano - the hours were long and the work, not easy. It was not a food I had ever associated with Panjabis before watching this film and for years since, I'd thought about writing a story about cheesemaking - which evolved over the years into something much more.
