The Ash Museum

Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Kohima in 1944 and spanning across ten decades and three continents, The Ash Museum weaves the poignant tale of James Ash, who leaves behind two families—one in India and one in England. In 2012, his granddaughter Emmie navigates her own life while raising her daughter Jasmine, seeking to distance them from the racism of her childhood, all while uncovering the enigmatic secrets of her family's past. The story explores themes of loss, migration, and the enduring quest for belonging, intertwined with rich historical narratives and personal revelations.
