Description
Description
What the Body Remembers by Shauna Singh Baldwin is a sweeping historical novel set in India during the years leading up to Partition. In 1937, sixteen-year-old Roop, a Sikh girl from a small village in northwestern India, becomes the second wife of Sardarji, a wealthy engineer whose first wife, Satya, has been unable to have children.
Roop enters a household filled with tension, jealousy, and divided loyalties, while outside the home India itself is undergoing enormous political change. As British rule weakens and independence draws closer, religious divisions between Sikh, Hindu, and Muslim communities intensify.
Baldwin weaves personal conflict with national upheaval, exploring marriage, motherhood, power, identity, faith, and survival. A compelling choice for readers who enjoy historical fiction, women’s stories, Indian history, and richly layered family drama.
