I can explain how the character of Hortense is established in the opening scene.
Muuji qoraalka
Hortense narrates her origins directly to the audience, joined by a younger Hortense.
Windrush tales often have a male bias, yet this story foregrounds Hortense's experience.
Hortense's comment about being the "heroine" of the situation opens questions about the dominance of 'white' history.
Hortense is forced to change her behaviour and accent to become "decent", according to her adoptive family.
