The end of Innocence

I read this book few months back and found it really interesting. Its engrossing and you cant wait till you finish it!!!
Its about a little girl who lives in punjab during the 1971 war!!! the story revolves around her relationship with her maid, rani, a teenage girl and who is also her closest friend.
Moni mohsin beautifully explains how the innocent and curious little girl suddenly experiences odd happenings that are beyond her understanding and judgement. These unexplainable situations entirely and dramatically changes here life!!!
Do read this novel and please tell me about any good novels you people have read!!! i ll be glad to hear from you guys..

Its good to see many south asian authors coming up with wonderful writings. kamila shamsie is one of them. kartography is one of her first novels in which she vivaciously globes the city of karachi and delicately explains about its citizens, the karachiites.
childhood frindships, love, blending with the ferocities that the city faces, kamila shamsie has truely spoken on behalf of the citizens..
