Description
Nisha's War by Dan Smith is a gripping ghost story set against the backdrop of wartime Malaya. After her home is destroyed by war, Nisha and her mother flee to England, seeking refuge in her father's ancestral house on the cold Northern coast.
There, Nisha faces a formidable grandmother with countless rules, including one that forbids her from climbing the old weeping tree. But when a ghost child beckons her to sit under its boughs and promises her mother's life in return for three truths, Nisha is drawn into a world of adventure, grief, guilt, forgiveness, and belonging.
This atmospheric tale explores themes of prejudice and identity, offering a fresh perspective on a wartime story that feels particularly relevant today. With its blend of action, history, and supernatural elements, Nisha's War is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction and ghost stories alike.
