Every once in a while you come across a book that makes you feel deeply. Remnants of a Separation is one where the author takes you on a journey through endings, beginnings and more importantly the chaotic and heartbreaking in-betweens experienced by some of the families who were victims of the divide on both sides of the border. Traveling back to another time with them and feeling what they felt, living their memories through artefacts and heirlooms they carried during the migration.
During these times, it provides the human lens of seeing people as people, emotions as emotions through the partition, without any other biases.
Remnants of a Separation, in all honesty it was the cover art that first caught my eye. Chapter 4: The Maang-Tikka of Bhag Malhotra ♥️
The author has a twitter and instagram account where she shares more, and it has become a morning ritual of sorts to go check for updates.
Words and other Comforts.
