Description
Saadia Faruqi's novel tells the story of Mahnoor and her grandmother Dadi, whose lives are intertwined by a shared passion for storytelling. When Dadi moves in with Mahnoor, it disrupts their routine, but also sparks a conversation about Dadi's experience of the Partition of India and Pakistan. As they talk, Mahnoor learns about Dadi's childhood and the events that led her to leave her home and relocate to Pakistan. As their story unfolds, Mahnoor finds herself drawn into Dadi's world, and discovers that her grandmother's experiences are just as relevant today as they were when she lived them. This moving middle grade novel explores themes of family, identity, and the power of storytelling to bring people together. Through Mahnoor and Dadi's relationship, Saadia Faruqi sheds light on a pivotal moment in history, and shows how it continues to shape lives today.
