One day Pirbhai commits an act to ensure his survival that will haunt him forever and reverberate across his family's future for years to come. Pirbhai's children are born and raised under the jacaranda trees and searing sun of Kampala during the waning days of British colonial rule. As Uganda moves towards independence and military dictatorship, Pirbhai's granddaughters, Latika, Mayuri, and Kiya, are three sisters coming of age in a divided nation. As they each forge their own path for a future, they must carry the silence of the history they've inherited. In 1972, under Idi Amin's brutal regime and the South Asian expulsion, the family has no choice but to flee, and in the chaos, they leave something devastating behind. As Pirbhai's grandchildren, scattered across the world, find their way back to each other in exile in Toronto, a letter arrives that stokes the flames of the fire that haunts the family. It makes each generation question how far they are willing to go, and who they are willing to defy to secure their own place in the world. A History of Burning is an unforgettable tour de force, an intimate family saga of complicity and resistance, about the stories we share, the ones that remain unspoken, and the eternal search for home"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Oza Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
