《The Night Diary給媽媽的深夜日記》暖心續作
1948新年之際,Amil和家人正準備在甫脫離英國殖民,現已獨立的印度安身立命。
那段漫長又凶險,從現今巴基斯坦到印度孟買的旅程,永遠留在他的心裡。身為穆斯林與印度教徒,12歲的Amil再也不明白何處是家。
然而此方陌生疏離如他方,1即使在孟買的一處公寓落腳,生活、上學,日子終於安穩下來,Amil仍感到不安,在印度的生活,依舊充滿種種不確定。雙胞胎姊妹Nisha建議Amil,將他想說的話訴諸繪畫,獻給在兩人年幼時便撒手人寰的母親。
暢銷青少年小說作者Veera Hiranandani,藉小男孩Amil的視角,帶領讀者見證一顆年幼卻已飽嚐流離,被迫成長的的心,如何努力摸索出這個混亂世界的運行規則,並在這個新生之地,拾回勇氣與希望。
