It the final hours of before Partition, the state of Punjab is poised on the brink of chaos and uncertainty — and 16-year-old Roop is taking her first uneasy steps into womanhood. Her mother is dead and her father is in debt, so she is elated when she first learns that she is to be the second wife of Sardarju, a wealthy and childless Sikh landowner. But she soon discovers that her household is to be as bitterly divided as her nation, and she discovers an unlikely mentor in the woman who was at first her most dire enemy. Written by Montreal-born Shauna Singh Baldwin, What the Body Remembers is, at last, available on audio cassette. | What the Body Remembers by Shauna Singh Baldwin, Audio Book (Cassette) | Indigo Chapters
