A beautiful poetry collection telling the coming of age story of Paro. I learned a lot about partition and the Hindu Gods and Goddesses! Gill remains one of my favorite poets and this collection was a unique one

I love the way Gill told a very cohesive story was told through poetry. It ended up being an unexpectedly perfect Pride month read! The language was beautiful and the drawings throughout enhanced the artistry of it for me.

I never thought I’d be into a verse narrative, but this was incredible and so easy to breeze through! Emotional, dark, uplifting, inspiring, passionate, and devastatingly vulnerable in the most beautiful of ways!
