Images of vast throngs of refugees, the dense press of people boarding trains or simply trudging on foot away from violence, convey the chaos and upheaval. In the end, the story comes full circle as Azra\u2019s family arrives at a house whose occupants also clearly fled, leaving behind the very things her family did. Their adoption of these precious items is bittersweet. I recommend reading the author\u2019s straightforward history of the 1947 partition in the end pages <em>before<\/em> reading the story to alleviate potential confusion.
