“Starts a bit slow and uninteresting. In the end, however, the author writes 100 words in 1. The end makes you wonder how a human being can think of doing such things. At times, it scares you. After reading it, you just realise that this was one snapshot of what happened after partition and after formation of Pakistan post 1947.”

No, the book isn't boring. It is because, I would read a couple of pages and think about the people enduring the madness of partition - everyday people, ordinary people stuck in the middle of an extraordinary event. The book is not entertaining. But it is enlightening.

Though it technically is fiction, but for all real purposes it is not. It is a chronicle of the Partition of India, and its horrors.
I would suggest every single soul to read it.”“Indeed Sahni is a wonderful and a visioned writer...this reflects from this book...Its is a heartfelt story I must say...”

“One of the best books on Indian Partition that was also adapted into a tele-film. It moves you.”

It's not preachy or scary, just talks very simply about how people got misdirected, confusion prevailed, and about the indifference of the english. It's based on true events and would give you a proper perspective about those times. Something that our history books have miserably failed to do. ”
