As the partition of India nears in 1947 bringing violence even to Jalandhar, Tariq, a Muslim, finds himself caught between his forbidden interest in Anupreet, a Sikh girl, and Margaret, a British girl whose affection for him might help with his dream of studying at Oxford.
About the Author
Jennifer Bradbury is the author of A Moment Comes, Wrapped, and her debut novel, Shift. Shift—which Kirkus Reviews gave a starred review, calling it “fresh, absorbing, compelling”—was picked as an ALA and a School Library Journal Best Book for Young Adults and is also on numerous state reading lists. A former English teacher and one-day Jeopardy! champ, she lives with her family in Burlington, Washington.
This beautiful cover really caught my eye! I adore peacocks! This book was told in 3 POVs which were done very well! I really loved Tariq the most. I think maybe it would have been nice to have him on the cover but I love it all the same! From inner issues to just trying to survive this book really deals with some hard issues from 1947. Although I didnt know anything from this time I still found myself understanding and being immersed in the stories being told. I had no issues following the plot or story which was great. I even love that at the end of the book the author adds a note which really filled in some information of the history. It was a very interesting read and I hope that you will all join my end of the month giveaway for this as well as many other books!
