Set against the tumultuous backdrop of a fragmenting Punjab and moving between Canada and India, Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? charts the interweaving stories of three Indian women–Bibi-ji, Leela and Nimmo–each in search of a resting place amid rapidly changing personal and political landscapes. Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? weaves together the personal and the political–and beautifully brings the reader into the reality of terrorism and religious intolerance.
