Pia is upset that that she can’t travel but finds a way to do so, despite the lockdown. Read on to find out how.
“You broke your promise!” screamed Pia. Her face was red, as she stamped her foot and waved her hands.
As you may have guessed, Pia was an enfant terrible. Her parents were tired of her tantrums. They wondered how their cute little baby girl had transformed into such a holy terror.
At our first Book Club meeting of 2021, on January 30, the
Stone Soup Book Club discussed
The Night Diary, by Veera Hiranandani.
The Night Diary tells the story of a half-Hindu, half-Muslim girl named Nisha during the separation of India and Pakistan, and is written through letters from Nisha to her mother, who died when Nisha was born.
Our meeting consisted of over forty kids from across the US, Canada, and Europe, and we were very lucky to be joined for the first twenty minutes of Book Club by Veera Hiranandani, author of
The Night Diary! We were able to ask her a variety of questions, from how she decided to be a writer, to the amount of research she had to do in order to write her book, to the impact of cooking and food in the story. She told us how she was inspired by her grandfather’s experiences in India, and how she herself feels that food can connect her to her culture. Thank you very much, Ms. Hiranandani, for joining us!
