A LIFE BEYOND THE WARD

More of Amina’s story

Amina Begum, 74, grew up in East London in a British Bangladeshi family and helped run community lunches for many years. She enjoys sewing, cardamom tea and arguing amiably about films. Family traditions matter to her, but so do new recipes and a good change of plan. She can organise a crowded kitchen without raising her voice, though she refuses to promise the chairs will match.

CHAPTER 1 · FREE STORY

The extra chair

Amina is sketching a seating plan on a scrap of paper at the hospital. It recalls a community lunch where every borrowed chair was different. One was so low that its occupant appeared to be sitting at the children’s table. Amina offered to swap. He refused, announced himself chairman of the small people, and persuaded three adults to join him. The room became easier after that. On her sketch, Amina stops trying to make the chairs identical and gives the smallest one a particularly grand backrest.

CHAPTER 2 · FREE STORY

A pocket for the spoon

The community kitchen had many generous cooks and never quite enough serving spoons. Amina once sewed an enormous pocket onto her apron to keep one close. It also collected a pencil, a shopping list and somebody’s cinema ticket. The ticket led to a long argument about a film neither cook had finished watching. Amina remembers that argument more clearly than the menu. From her hospital chair she examines a photograph of the apron. The pocket was crooked. It worked beautifully.

CHAPTER 3 · FREE STORY

The menu on the back

Amina turns over the seating sketch and starts a menu for an imaginary lunch. She leaves spaces for other people’s suggestions. The spoon gets its own reminder at the top. Beside it she writes the title of the unfinished film; perhaps this time she will discover the ending. Her family has supplied a notebook, but the scrap of paper suits her. It already has chairs on the other side. A gathering, she thinks, needs somewhere for the ideas to sit as well.
