I thought about the little gifts Kazi gives us all the time–pieces of candy under our pillows or a ripe tomato from the garden, sliced, salted, and sprinkled with chili pepper on a plate. I once read an English story where a little girl got a big pink cake and presents wrapped in shiny paper and bows for her birthday. Kazi gave it to me this morning wrapped in brown paper, tied with a piece of dried grass. In one entry Nisha writes to her mother, “I want to tell you about this diary I’m writing in. The story is woven together through letters she writes in her diary. In the hope of finding safety on the other side of the border, she and her family flee their home. When the country she calls home is divided in two–Pakistan and India–violence erupts and she and her family become refugees. THE NIGHT DIARY follows the life of 12-year old Nisha who lives in India in 1947.
