desertcart.com: Independence: A Gripping Historical Novel of Sisterhood and Struggle During India's Fight for Independence in 1947: 9780063142381: Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee: Books

Review: The perfect combination of history and story! - What a stunning novel in both language and construction. The way Divakaruni wove history into the story of three sisters was masterful, and the ending was perfect, even though painful. She writes so well about relationships between women as witnessed in some of her previous books also. She has great knowledge of human nature, and most particularly of that of women. I could not put this book down and read it in just three days. Her writing always re-ignites my love of India and I look forward to traveling in that wonderful land again. Her book readings are not to be missed either as she is humorous, humble and above all authentic. I look forward to her next novel!
Review: Very factual history - I always check out any book that offers cultural diversity and have read many books about India overtime. And not becausemy husband is Indian, because I love historical fiction. This was a good and fast read for me. The character development was strong and true. Because this story contained a lot about Indian partition I was a little bit caught off guard by the historical report of the incredible violence that occurred. It was very graphic and true, but a titch disturbing. I wouldn't tell anyone to not read this book but I would mention the accurate history and the horrors of 2hat millions of people endured during partition and country division

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heart rendering
*by M***N on December 24, 2025*

Even though I could guess what was coming (this is about independence and the partition, so we already know the horrors and heartache), I was somewhat soothed by Divakaruni's hopeful and poetic prose. A good story with endearing and brave characters.
