Handful of Home: The Partition of India in 100 Objects (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A Handful of Home is a museum you can hold in your hands.

Containing 100 objects from the Partition of India, oral historian and expert Aanchal Malhotra transforms a complex history into a gentle and accessible introduction for younger readers.

Through the quiet stories of everyday treasures, the vastness of Partition history becomes tangible; something a child can see, touch and understand. From a grandmother's gold bangle passed down through generations, to a red cap exchanged between two friends, and even a fifteen and a half foot crocodile head, readers will discover the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of memory.

Vividly brought to life by Bangladeshi-British illustrator Maryam Huq, this book is a testament to the things we keep, the things we remember, and the stories that connect us all - no matter where we call home.
