The second half of the book for now becomes more and more about Pakistan, where identity of main character is formed too.

“So it was that, at the age of ten, I found myself surrounded by trouble; and inside, full of marvels.”

I need more books like that. What a perfect mix of politics and magical realism . I have never seen that before I think. Partition of India is indeed fascinating topic, many other events are there too and I even learn more about Quran from this book honestly .

That’s a book that keeps me interested from the first page even though I had to read a bit more to get used more to author’s style. Being in genre of magical realism , it bring up important political topic in history of India and makes me learn new things .
