Description
This book tells the tale of the birth of two new nations, experienced in the lives — and deaths of its young citizens. Set in Lucknow of the 1940s, and written during a time of great turmoil, following the Partition, Qurratulain Hyder’s masterly early novel (originally titled Mere Bhi Sanamkhane) is a story of kinship, intimate friendships and love in a context of political upheaval. The book also gives the reader a delightful and engaging account of middle-class youth culture of 1940s India.
Rakshanda, Peechu, Kiran, Salim, Christabel — the youthful protagonists are idealistic and enthusiastic, fighting for a brave new world. With the turbulence of Partition and Independence, the quiet rhythms of domesticity are brutally disrupted. New animosities replace old loyalties, and the merry “Gang of Lucknow” is torn apart as the old order begins to fragment.
