A Young Adult crossover
A Moment Comes by Jennifer Bradbury
India in 1947, three teenagers struggle to find their way, their place, and their purpose in an everchanging world.
Three different people – Tariq, an eighteen year old Muslim whose sole dream is to go to Oxford and get an education worthy of this own Grandfather’s dream. Margaret just arrived in India with her cartographer father and is ready to ‘make a difference’ and live a little. And lastly, Anupreet, a Sikh who is strikingly beautiful, even with the mysterious scar running down her face.
All three people meet and are thrown into the chaos that is India as it sets new land boundaries and changes in front of one’s eyes
From Bradbury:
I love it when I end up learning about the history and culture of a country when I read a book.
