On the eve of India's partition (1947), the lives and aspirations of three teens--English girl Margaret, Sikh girl Anupreet, and Muslim boy Tariq--intersect even as the world around them erupts in confusion and conflict. The novel's carefully researched plot displays a balance between historical fact and vividly dramatic fiction, and the subject fills an important niche in historical literature for teens.
