"Who was the first one, Mama, the first to kill when they decided to break apart India?"
This book and Nisha's thoughts on the partition of India are very similar to mine. Even though she's a young teenager, her feelings about herself, her loved ones and her country have a tragic poignancy.
The author made me smile, gasp and almost moved me to tears. I'm so happy about the ending. You don't see a happy ending in most partition literature.
