people in history, telling both sides of the story through the voices

between the two countries?

of hope bubbled up in towns and villages across the country -
they would be free to rule themselves at last!
But deciding to split the country in two - Partition - would soon
mean so much more.
A gripping first-hand account with an engaging and direct narrative
