  • "An extraordinarily rich debut novel, set in India in 1947 at the time of Partition. Although the backdrop is this key event in Indian history, the novel is even more far-reaching, touching on the importance of tolerance, love and family."
  • "It is 1947, and India is about to be partitioned, creating the new country Pakistan. Bilal is determined to protect his dying father from news of the Partition, so that his father can die in peace. With the help of friends, Bilal persuades others to collude with him, even printing false pages of the local newspaper to hide the ravages of unrest from his father. First person recount. Suggested level: secondary."
  • "In the days leading up to the partition of India in 1947, thirteen-year-old Bilal devises an elaborate scheme to keep his dying father from hearing the news about the country's division."
