Summary from Goodreads:
How beautiful is that cover? And this is a book written in free verse. I've never read a book in free verse before!On October 31, 1984, Indira Gandhi is gunned down by two Sikh bodyguards. The murder sparks riots in Delhi and for three days Sikh families are targeted and killed in retribution for the Prime Minister’s death. It is into this chaos that sixteen-year-old Maya and her Sikh father, Amar, arrive from their home in Canada. India’s political instability is the backdrop and catalyst for Maya’s awakening to the world. KARMA is the story of how a young woman, straddling two cultures and enduring personal loss, learns forgiveness, acceptance and love.
India has always intrigued me, it's definitely a place I wish to go some day in the future. I really want to read this book!
And guess what? You can win a copy on Goodreads!
But there's more! Author Cathy Ostlere will be here on TCM soon! :D Keep your eyes open!
