Can You Hear the Nightbird Call

Anita Rau Badami weaves together the lives of three women across fifty tumultuous years, from India's Partition through the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the Irish coast. Bibi-Ji, who elopes with her sister's fiancé to build a new life in Vancouver's Sikh community, carries the weight of her sister's vanishing amid the violence of Partition. Haunted by tragedy and separated by continents, their interconnected stories reveal how love and loss echo across generations and borders.
