This book was so educational and informative!
  I wanted to read a book for my "Read the World" storygraph challenge (Cracking India) but because it was written from the perspective of a child, I thought some formal background into partition was needed before I read it. I had absolutely no prior knowledge past the fact that when Britain pulled out of India it became Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. I genuinely had no idea what a massive collective trauma it truly was. I felt like Khan did a great job of showing the crisis from multiple perspectives, and provided me with the nuance and detail I was looking for. It is quite information dense so I needed to really focus my attention, but I have no doubt that a lot of work and research went into making this book happen.
