A true story based on the horrible war between India and Pakistan that focuses on the land of Kashmir and how its people were affected by the war. A very deep read, and it’s really good to know that the author made some meticulous research to write this book, thanks for sharing that in your review!!

I don't really like to read non-fiction and am not overly fond of Asia, since every time I traveled there, I got a fever and now am medically restricted from the region)) But seriously, life is hard everywhere, therefore I don't think that Kashmir and people there are any less sufferings than many others all over the world. Still congrats on BOTD!

The book shines a light on the experiences of Kashmiri women, a perspective often neglected in discussions of the conflict. By interviewing a diverse range of women – activists, prisoners, peacemakers, and ordinary citizens – Qazi offers a nuanced understanding of their struggles, resilience, and aspirations.

I have heard a lot about the contentious Kashmir region in the news. At times I wonder why two countries fight over the region. I am intrigued to learn more from this book. Thanks for the review.

Your review is very informative, Wajida! Sampling the Foreword and the Author's Note, I gleaned that Farhana Qazi centers her book on the beauty of Kashmir offset by the six decades of conflict between its people and the Hindu state. Your review fully agrees with my initial impression. I was also intrigued by your mention that while well-researched, this book does not overwhelm with dry statistical facts but tells real-life stories and connects the reader with the people of Kashmir.
