A memoir by a survivor of anti-Muslim violence in contemporary India that weaves political and family histories in a tribute to her country's Islamic heritage.
What The Reviewers Say
A visceral work of bearing witness, recounted with exacting and unapologetic subjectivity.
By blending her story with a history of India’s fraught ethnic tensions and a nearly journalistic documentation of the attacks, the author sheds new perspective on the events.
Elegantly rendered.
Harrowing.
