A review by readtotheend
The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

A middle grade epistolary style story about a girl writing to her deceased mother about what's going on in India/Pakisatan in the 1940s during the partition of India. It's so important to tell these historical stories to the younger generations so I welcome these historical stories for middle grade readers. I loved how the family came together during this period of time and especially loved Dadi and Kazi, two very special characters.  The audiobook narration for this book was excellent, I highly recommend in audio.
