Confusing narrative, sometimes you are hearing the narrator's voice, sometimes is the character's. What its true, is how "The Partition" was painful for all in India and Pakistan, and this is but a glimpse on how it affected some in the story. I understand why it won accolades and scholastic awards, but it's definitely not for everyone.
