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.’

– Nandita Das
