Some journeys exist in the mind. Bir Bahadur Singh is haunted by the longing to return. Forced to leave his village in Pakistan during Partition in traumatic circumstances, he makes the journey back, fifty-four years later, to pick up the connections from that long past time. In that wrenching journey, he meets his old friend who now lives in his childhood home and exchanges banter with him and with many other lost acquaintances. For those few hours Bir Bahadur is there, the past comes alive, for him and for his companion on the journey, the author herself.
