THE WHEEL OF SURYA TRILOGY — THE EYE OF THE HORSE Paperback

The Eye of the Horse is the second book in Jamila Gavin's "The Wheel of Surya Trilogy," a dramatic historical fiction series for young adults. Set in India in 1948, against the tumultuous backdrop of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination and the chaos of Indian independence and Partition, the story continues to follow the lives of Jaspal and Marvinder. While their father is imprisoned in England, Jaspal struggles with unforgiveness and yearns to return to his village in Punjab, where he feels he truly belongs. Marvinder, meanwhile, is finding her place in England, forming friendships and discovering her talent as a violinist, but is deeply conflicted by her mother's persistent call for her to return to India. This beautifully crafted novel explores the poignant search for reconciliation as the siblings are torn between two vastly different worlds and grapple with their family's fractured history.
