With a Mantoesque aura pervading this collection of stories from across the
great divide of 1947, the reader becomes complicit in fiction?s inimitable
capacity to subvert established ?truths?. A tribute to the power of story-telling,
this is a heart-warming, humanizing and inspirational collection that deserves a
wide readership.?
? Ayesha Jalal
?Reading through this mosaic of enthralling stories, my emotions relentlessly
oscillated between agony and hope. While these stories brilliantly bring to life
familiar characters, they also manifest the compelling essence of fiction that
takes you to unfamiliar paths. I?m sure this book will ignite in readers a desire
to rise above boundaries and divisive politics.?
