The Kashmir Shawl by Rosie Thomas

4.0

This book really grew on me. It tells the story of a young woman, Mair, who travels to Kashmir to try to find out more about her grandparents. The grandparents lived there in the lead up to WWII and the story flashes back to that time and life as seen through the eyes of her grandmother, Nerys. Nerys had a friendship with two women and the three of them shared a secret. Mair discovers this and wonders if the friendship has something to do with her family. The novel has a great sense of place and now Kashmir is on my list of places to travel!
