I don't think it's a bad book but there was nothing much in it for me to care about. I initially thought it will tackle the challenges or problems of partition during that time since the book is based on the border around it (even though fictional) but there was just the mention of the same every once in a while, with some other story running on the side. Oh, I also forgot how long ago this book was written looking at all the transphobic jokes considered funny.
