✨QOTD: Have You Read Any Books Set Around The Time of Partition?✨
.
I recently finished off reading 'The Night Diary' and this book is just amazing. I have posted the full review on my blog. You can check out the linktree link in my bio to read the full review 💜🔝🔝
.
It is an epistolary novel written from a twelve-year-old, Nisha's point of view as she writes to her mother expressing how she feels about the partitioning of the British Indian Empire into India and Pakistan. She also notes down the journey to her new home on the other side of the country.
.
‘The Night Diary’ is a very powerful book and asks questions that are still left unanswered. Hiranandani’s writing style is lyrical and evokes a sense of grief and misery in the narrative told through the perspective of Nisha.
.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
.
So, these three months are going to be pretty hectic for me as there are assignments that I need to complete and my exams are fast approaching too, so, I have to concentrate on my studies and for this reason, I won't be actively posting but I'll be around here, stalking you guys 😂. Miss me! 😝. Hope y'all enjoy your weekends 💜✨

QOTD: Tell Me About Your Hidden Talents! 😁
.
I read two historical fictions back to back and both of them turned out great! 💜 The full review is up on my blog. Check out the linktree link in my bio to read the full review 😄
.
‘The Mulberry Courtesan’ is set around 1857 when the Mughal Empire is counting its last days of ruling the country. It’s the time when the East India Company had already invaded the country and was setting up it’s empire. It was during this time that India saw its first revolt against the Britishers. The book features Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last person of the Mughal dynasty who was exiled.
.
‘The Mulberry Courtesan’ also gives us a glimpse into the life of Bahadur Shah Zafar. The contrast between Zafar, old and weary; and Laale, young and vivacious, is beautifully presented in the narrative. There’s also a romance between the central characters. This epic tale is quite tragic.
