The Partition Project
by Saadia Faruqi

“Maha has to give up her room and is charged with “babysitting” her grandmother, but this inconvenience soon turns into an opportunity. Dadi’s memories of the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 spark Maha’s interest and turn into a documentary project for her media studies class.

… packs multiple plot lines, credible character development, and a heap of information about Pakistani Muslim culture and traditions of which Maha had little knowledge. A fast-paced page-turner of a novel.” (Booklist)
