Read, reviewed and very much enjoyed the chapter. It's an interesting look at Jill, to see the diversity in Russell House through her eyes and also when she talked about her own background.

I finally got around to watching "Mixed Britannia", that BBC series I linked a preview to for you a while back. I think you'd be fascinated by it. The first episode (the only one I've watched so far) discussed mixed race relationships in the UK from WWI up to start of the second War. There were interviews with adults who had grown up as part of a mixed race family -- British women marrying Arabs, Chinese marines, and West Indians, along with others from other far flung parts of the Empire. (You can catch interviews and some clips/episodes from the series on Youtube if you're interested.)
