I know that I am super interested in the subject matter and I had to read this for a class, so that has colored the way I reviewed this book. I know that there was a lot of chaos and uncertainty, but I feel like so much of the same things were repeated and drawn out where they didn't need to be. This was very dense and while to some that could have been really moving in showing the horrors of Partition, but for me it bogged the book down and I wasn't really interested in what was being said.
