This was one of those books when I started reading novels.
The story is of a village called Mano Majra, very near to soon-to-be Pakistan in the Punjab Province, where Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims lived peacefully. It had a railway station which was the last station before the train passes on to would-be-Pakistan. Things change when a train full of dead bodies arrives at the railway station.
It is a novel worth paying for.
