Mongol

Uuganaa is a Mongol living in Britain. When her son Billy is diagnosed with Down's Syndrome, she has to face all the taboos associated with the term 'mongol'. In this powerful memoir, Uuganaa skilfully interweaves the extraordinary story of her own childhood in Mongolia with the short life of Billy, who inspires Uuganaa to challenge prejudice.
