From Anita Rau Badami, author of Tamarind Mem, comes Can You Hear the Nightbird Call?, a story of three women whose lives are, in different ways, thrust into separate trajectories by the 1947 Partition of  India and Pakistan, onto paths along which their very identities, both as Indians and as Canadians, come into question, and all of whose lives are, in one way or another, impacted by the devastating 1985 Air India 182 explosion. As the impact of terrorism continues to be felt around the world, perhaps the first thing we need, before flying headfirst into mindless solutions, is a constructive dialogue, an activity that seems all but lost in today’s political climate. Join us at the Civic Centre Resource Library’s Adult Book Club on November 14th at 7pm for one of the few places left where this kind of discussion still takes place.
