Classic novel on partition, based on riots in 1947.
The book is about the exodus of a Sikh and Hindu family to India, in the backdrop of riot-stricken Pakistan, at the time of Partition of India in 1947. It shows a gruesome side of politics, and the compassionate side of humanity that survives any carnage.
