Jean McDermid recommends a novel that sounds like a good read:
Under Fishbone Clouds Sam Meekings
This is a novel, interspersed with folk legends, about the members of a family during all the upheavals in the years from 1946 to the present. Sam Meekings married a Chinese girl and, I gather, wrote the book in reponse to tales and accounts told him by his wife's grandmother. I heard him read extracts from it at the Edinburgh Book Festival and I highly recommend it. It is very moving, insightful and beautifully written.
