Sparsile Press present the Book Launch of Selinder Narwan’s new Novel In the Shade of The Peepal Tree.
Punjab, 1947. Amidst the chaos of Partition, seventeen-year-old Deepa flees her burning village with her little sister, carrying nothing but terror and hope. Scarred by violence, and haunted by unbearable loss, she must navigate a world where survival comes at the price of
silence.
Spanning continents and generations, In the Shade of the Peepal Tree is a powerful tale of survival, memory, and the search for belonging.
Join us at Hillhead Library as Selinder discusses her work with broadcaster Judith Ralston.
