Amil and the After by Veera Hiranandani

4.0

Veera Hiranandani's sequel, Amil and the After, offers a welcome return to the world established in The Night Diary. This time, we experience the aftermath of partition through the eyes of Amil, Nisha's twin brother. Set in early 1948, the story follows the family as they attempt to rebuild their lives in a newly independent India and extends to Mahatma Gandhi's assassination. While not quite as impactful as its predecessor, the book offers valuable insights into Amil's perspective and the family's ongoing struggle for normalcy.
