• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of a fragmenting Punjab and moving between Canada and India, Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? charts the interweaving stories of three Indian women-Bibi-ji, Leela and Nimmo-each in search of a resting place amid rapidly changing personal and political landscapes. Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? weaves together the personal and the political-and beautifully brings the reader into the reality of terrorism and religious intolerance.
