The intermingling of language with the presence of English as a byproduct of the empire is very well represented. The stories and interviews capture the essence of the people, and reminds the reader of a sordid time in history - whilst maintaining a very good sense of time and place. Would recommend this to anyone looking for short accounts of the partition of the Indian subcontinent
