I loved this book. It’s not straightforward and you have to trust through some passages (also possibly google if you’re not familiar with Indian/Pakistan history). But this is a beautiful story about so many things, but especially all the “borders” that exist in life (countries, gender, ethnicities, societal expectations, etc).
Graphic: Death, Xenophobia, and Grief
Moderate: Homophobia and Transphobia
Minor: Violence and War
