Description
In our latest read, hosts Simone, Tanya and Deb chat about A History of Burning by Janika Oza. This epic debut novel is about how one act of rebellion can influence a family for generations.
Beginning in 1898 with a young boy, Pirbhai, being tricked into traveling from India to Africa to help build the East African Railway, this sweeping saga traces the story of four generations told in snapshots through the years.
It explores the impacts of colonialism, resistance, exile and the power of family.
The book shines a light on some dark parts of history, but also offers love through the resilience of the human spirit. Plus we chat with the author.
