Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Radcliffe Line is a moving historical novella about childhood innocence, migration, memory and the lasting impact of Partition.In present-day Britain, three-year-old Safia asks her grandmother, Nani Umma, about her first train journey. Nani Umma remembers travelling as a three-year-old during the Partition of India in 1947. To the child she once was, it was a holiday. The hurried packing meant adventure. The crowded station was exciting. The steam train became an Iron Dragon, and the refugee camp in Karachi seemed like a holiday park. But the adults around her understood a very different reality.As violence, rumours and political division spread, the family must decide whether generations of belonging and the kindness of trusted neighbours can still protect them, or whether survival now depends upon leaving home behind. Some memories are passed down as stories. Others remain hidden.Told through the contrasting perspectives of a three-year-old child and the adults surrounding her, The Radcliffe Line is an intimate story of displacement, neighbourly kindness, friendship, loss and survival. For readers aged 16+, it will appeal to readers of historical fiction, Partition literature, South Asian family stories and reflective fiction about migration, identity, trauma and belonging.…
