Description :
Partitions: A Novel by Amit Majmudar Free VBook Download
As India is rent into two nations with the creation of Pakistan,
communal violence breaks out on both sides of the new border and
streaming hordes of refugees flee from blood and chaos.
At an overrun train station, Shankar and Kenshav, twin Hindu boys,
lose sight of their mother and go in search of her. A young Sikh girl,
Simran Kaur, has run away from her father who would rather poison her
than see her defiled. And Ibrahim Masud, an elderly Muslim doctor, limps
toward the new Muslim state of Pakistan, rediscovering on the way his
role as a healer. A dramatic, luminous story of families and nations
broken and formed, Partitions, “written with piercing beauty, alive with
moral passion and sorrowful insight, [is] a rueful masterpiece” (Kirkus
Reviews, starred review).
