Beautiful history through childs eyes...

I loved this book. Its written from the memories of the authors childhoods. Moving with their parents, aunt and younger sibling they tell of the experince of growing up in India during the 1910`s. It is written as a novel, but with a childlike understanding. In the preface the authors explain its written from their memories as children and therefore their understanding and interputation is as it was from young eyes and minds, but i think this makes it more interesting to read, since children can be very perceptive, but also lacking in knowledge. There is love and hate, life and death. Cultural diffrences and tradition. The area they lived in is now another country. The two sisters tell an interesting story that you may not hear often for the time it was written about. Having visited India and Bangladesh myself I found the book familiar and had no problems understanding it. I lent the book to a friend who did`nt understand all of it as easy, I think perhaps this was because of the cultural and religious issues and occasional 'indian' words used without explaination of meanings. Dont let that put you off though, it dosent happen much.
