Mishal Husain Broken Threads

Mishal Husain is a respected and widely recognised figure formally as a Radio 4 Today presenter and TV newsreader for the BBC, and now as Editor-at Large for Bloomberg. Her Sunday Times bestselling memoir gives a personal and unique perspective of India in 1947, when Partition created the new state of Pakistan, by centring the experiences of her four grandparents. Her research is accompanied by letters, diaries, unpublished memoirs, tapes and interviews with her surviving family, and interrogates the impact of colonialism, imperialism, religion and conflict that continues to echo today.
