An engaging read that could serve as an intro into the partition of India.

A sweet, yet disturbing story.

You know I loved the diary as a series of letters to her mother.

Very interesting that I read two books in a row in which a little girl doesn't speak.

I have never read a book that took place during the dividing of India in the 1940s. Very interesting, and an interesting way to tell the story through a young girl's diary.

This was one of my favorite books so far! I loved how it was written in letter and there was never a dull moment!
