À propos de cet e-book
London, 1941.
As the city thrums with Blitz bombers, lonely A.R.P warden Ruby Thacker is drawn into the unfamiliar world of the India Forum. There, at the dishevelled townhouse in Bloomsbury, she meets Kitty, an ambitious barrister doing all she can to free her beloved India from British rule.
But Ruby has secret motives for joining the Forum, and when the mysterious Satyajit appears with radical ideas about fighting for freedom, she finds herself torn between head and heart.
Meanwhile Kitty, having defied her family by leaving Bombay and marrying Haseeb, now risks losing him again as the threat of conscription for all Indian men in Britain looms.
As their lives collide, Ruby and Kitty will have to choose just how far they are willing to go for the things and people they love.
A story of sacrifice and betrayal, belonging and loss, A Thread of Light is the stunning second novel by Neema Shah, author of Kololo Hill.
