'Significantly poignant... Majmudar interjects three story lines for a frank but greatly human dramatization of the persecution each religious group experienced at the hands of the others.' --Booklist, starred review

'Magnificent... Written with piercing beauty, alive with moral passion and sorowful insight - a rueful masterpiece.' --Kirkus, starred review

'[A] superb fiction debut... This novel will make you angry and sad, as it should; it will also leave you with a heightened sense of sympathy and hope for the people on both sides of an arbitrary border.' --The Wall Street Journal

Présentation de l'éditeur

As India is rent overnight into two nations, sectarian violence explodes on both sides of the new border, with tidal waves of refugees fleeing the blood and chaos. Fighting to board the last train to Delhi, Shankar and Keshav, six-year-old Hindu twins, lose sight of their mother and plunge into the whirling human mass to find her. A young Sikh woman, Simran Kaur, flees her father, who would rather poison his daughter than see her defiled. And Ibrahim Masud, an elderly Muslim doctor driven from the town of his birth, limps towards the new Muslim state of Pakistan. As the displaced face a variety of horrors, this unlikely quartet come together, defying every rule of self-preservation to forge a future of hope.
