Chapter 14 Summary

After over 30 years in the United Kingdom, Chanu decides it's time to see the sights. He gears up like a tourist for a day out with the family and Nazneen vows to make it a good day for him. They visit Buckingham Palace first, and Nazneen thinks that if she were the queen she'd break it down and rebuild it to be more interesting like the Taj Mahal. Chanu narrates history from a guidebook. Nazneen asks him a lot of questions that he is happy to answer. In fact, she talks and laughs so much that he gets worried and asks her if she has had too much sun. She laughs some more, and Bibi and Shahana join in.

They return to the Palace to take pictures with a disposable panoramic camera, and Nazneen bribes Shahana to smile for a photo with her...
