內容簡介

內容簡介 1947年，剛從英國殖民獨立出來的｢新｣ 印度，扯開嗓門呱呱落地時，｢她｣ 同時被劃分為兩個國家：巴基斯坦和印度。Nisha 再也無法辨識她原本 稱之為 ｢家｣ 的地方。遷徙到新家園的旅程危險重重，Nisha 一家人能安全抵達嗎？一段關於失去、重新定義愛、家園和自己聲音的成長之歌。 A 2019 NEWBERY HONOR BOOK "A gripping, nuanced story of the human cost of conflict appropriate for both children and adults." -Kirkus, starred review In the vein of Inside Out and Back Again and The War That Saved My Life comes a poignant, personal, and hopeful tale of India's partition, and of one girl's journey to find a new home in a divided country It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders. Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together. Told through Nisha's letters to her mother, The Night Diary is a heartfelt story of one girl's search for home, for her own identity...and for a hopeful future.
