Some fiction suggestions to prepare for our Pakistan discussion

1. Krushwant Singh, A Train to Pakistan, A Novel.

I have not read this, but it sounds hopeful.

2. Paul Scott, The Raj Quartet.

3. Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children.

4. Salman Rushdie, Shame.

I have read 2, 3 and 4.

The Raj Quartet was made into an excellent Masterpiece Theatre series in early 1980s.

William Dalrymple--books--I've read White Moghuls (thank you YBT)

City of Djins and The Last Moghul--all excellent. https://top7best.com/william-dalrymple-books?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Search&...
