The Kashmir Shawl by Rosie Thomas

 

 

The discovery of her grandmother’s shawl amongst family belongings starts a quest, by Mair, to discover its history – which involves travelling to India.

The reader is introduced to Mair’s grandparents and their story is interwoven with Mair’s experiences.

Rosie Thomas blends present and past to great effect in this novel.
