Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1947 India's Partition, this powerful novel tells the story of Lenny Sethi, a young girl growing up in Lahore. As she navigates her privileged life with her nanny Ayah, Lenny begins to learn about the complex differences between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs.

But when Ayah is kidnapped, Lenny's world is turned upside down. The brutal transition from peace to violence becomes all too real as Lenny witnesses the devastating consequences of religious intolerance and ethnic strife. This heart-wrenching domestic drama serves as a poignant microcosm for the profound political upheaval that was India's Partition.

With its unique blend of humor and pathos, this novel offers a powerful exploration of one of the most pivotal moments in modern Indian history.
