Life is sweet growing up in Aizawl, with his family and friends, and all the narrator wants is a peaceful life.
But the independence movement in Mizoram means that regardless of what he wants, he is drawn inexorably into a world where everyone has to choose where they stand …
Set in the initial stages of the two-decade-long struggle for Mizoram’s independence and against the backdrop of the 1966 bombing of Aizawl, this stunning debut novel is a universal story of how individual dreams and lives are shattered when larger conflicts arise.
