A review by sarahjacksonbuckley
The Wheel of Surya by Jamila Gavin

4.0

I really enjoyed this young adult book based around the story of a young girl and her brother who migrate to Britain to escape the destruction of Partition. I really enjoyed the writing style and the main characters of Marvinder and Jaspal had depth and feeling. I particularly liked the first half when it was set in India as it dealt directly with the issues of colonialism. Definitely will be recommending to my pupils and anyone else interested in this period of History!
