Priya Hajela

An Emotional Journey
Ladies' Tailor by Priya Hajela is not just a book, in fact, it is a journey spanning the life during partition.

The book has a special meaning for me as my ancestors also faced this during India Bangladesh partition. Very small details have been captured by the author to portray the picture of India in 1947. All the characters have their own story and life. While reading the book, it felt like I am living the era.
