Pinjar by Amrita Pritam
It takes me some time before connecting with the characters. When I initially started reading this one, I thought it would be a short read, and I wouldn’t connect with the characters.
But damn, I was so wrong. I can’t gather up my thoughts to describe how I felt while reading the last few pages. I recently saw ‘Main Vapis Aunga’ and couldn’t stop thinking about the countless people who went through hell and then lived while remembering that hell.
This novel isn’t only about partition, but it’s mainly about women.
It talks about what women have been going through in the past and even currently.
I can watch the movie based on this novel now.
