HTML:<p>An extraordinarily rich debut novel, set in India 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.

With great spirit and determination, Bilau persuades the whole of his village to collude with him in this deception, even going to the lengths of printing false pages of the newspaper to hide the ravages of unrest from his father, thus allowing his father to die at peace. An atmospheric, quirky and moving debut novel, set in India.
