"The day they found my brother with a blood stain, I found one on
my kurta too, but no one noticed my blood stain." Thus begins the
story of a young girl in Kashmir as she goes through the turbulence
of adolescence in her conflict-ridden world. While larger issues of
terrorism, violence, and death engulf the hearts and minds of all
those around her, she struggles to come to terms with her changing
body and all that it entails. Left alone to deal with her constant
questions, she experiences despair and loneliness but also shows
resilience and hope in the faint knowledge that maybe it is not
very different for all young girls around the world: "Is it the
same for you?" she asks. With powerful yet sensitive illustrations
by Priya Sebastian, which infuse the story with a universality,
this beautiful volume is a tender attempt in imagining the
different strands of a young life in Kashmir--a place where the
inner conflicts of voiceless, adolescent girls are often
overshadowed by the political, religious, and military conflicts
that are now a constant in everyday life.
