Cracking India
by Bapsi Sidhwa
Read this for my Literature class this semester. Cracking India takes place in the upcoming years and after the events of Partition in India and Pakistan. It was a haunting story being told it through a child's point of view, Lenny. In my class we watched a documentary Partition: The Day India Burned and it really opened up the story with the history of what was actually going on in India and in Lahore, the capital of the Punjab at this period of history. As haunting as the documentary was, it really put into perspective the history because we sadly really don't learn this history in our history classes.
I enjoyed the novel. It makes the reality of what happened in history really wide open. I enjoyed the different characters that we see in this minus the ice-candy-man and just some of cousin's actions with Lenny were a bit too much. But I loved Ayah.
