"Unforgettable." --Boston Globe As India is rent into two nations
with the creation of Pakistan, communal violence breaks out on both
sides of the new border and streaming hordes of refugees flee from
blood and chaos. At an overrun train station, Shankar and Kenshav,
twin Hindu boys, lose sight of their mother and go in search of
her. A young Sikh girl, Simran Kaur, has run away from her father
who would rather poison her than see her defiled. And Ibrahim
Masud, an elderly Muslim doctor, limps toward the new Muslim state
of Pakistan, rediscovering on the way his role as a healer. A
dramatic, luminous story of families and nations broken and formed,
"Partitions," "written with piercing beauty, alive with moral
passion and sorrowful insight, is] a rueful masterpiece" ("Kirkus
Reviews," starred review).
