Gist about the Book

"Moth" is a powerful and haunting debut novel by Melody Razak, set against the backdrop of India's partition in 1947. The story follows the lives of two sisters, Alma and Roop, as their family is torn apart by the political upheaval and violence of the era. Through their eyes, we witness the horrors of partition, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring bonds of family.

 

Reviews

"Moth is a stunning debut, a beautifully written, deeply moving novel that captures the personal toll of the Partition of India. Melody Razak has a remarkable talent for creating characters who leap off the page, and for immersing the reader in a richly evoked world. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time." - Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love

"Moth is a beautifully written, deeply moving novel that transports the reader to 1940s Delhi, bringing to life the human cost of the Partition. Melody Razak has a gift for creating characters that feel utterly real, and for exploring the profound impact of historical events on individual lives. This is a remarkable debut." - Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz

"Moth is a novel of rare power and grace. Melody Razak writes with such beauty and insight about the most devastating of human experiences - the tearing apart of a family and a nation. This is a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page." - Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Starling Days
