The Tree With A Thousand Apples - Hardcover
·A socio-political thriller set in Kashmir from 1990 to 2013
·A coming-of-age novel that depicts the lives of three children and the choices destiny forces them to make
·A multi-layered narrative that highlights different points of view - Kashmiri Pandits exiled from their homes, young directionless militants, duty-bound army officers and innocent civilians who become collateral damage
The Tree with a Thousand Apples is a universal story of cultures, belongingness, revenge and atonement. A socio-political thriller set in the troubled Indian region of Kashmir, during the years 1990 to 2013, it depicts how the lives of three innocent children are shattered during an insurgent night, and what happens 20 years later when their paths cross again. This narrative, while local to the Kashmir Valley, reflects a universal truth: that lives of innocent people are caught in the crossfire of conflict zones across the world. The novel depicts the paradise that Kashmir once was, shows the ideological conflict zone it has become, and explores the question of 'where next?', both for the land and its people. The stylized layered format, fast-paced narration and suspenseful storytelling makes for a powerful, gripping read.

From the Back Cover:
"Bilal would come, anytime now, in front of this moving car, and stand with Safeena at his side, and then these rumbling wheels would have to stop. He would then walk out and drape his arms around their shoulders, which would support him home, and they would say, For us, Deewan bhai, whatever it takes." The lives of three innocent children are shattered during an insurgent night in war torn Kashmir. Twenty years later when their paths cross again, an innocent civilian is searching for justice, an exiled Pandit longs for belonging, while a ruthless rebel aches for redemption.
From the Inside Flap:
If the criminal was once a saint and the saint was once a criminal, then who is a criminal and who is a saint?

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Inspired by true events, this riveting narrative traces the lives of Safeena Malik, Deewan Bhat, and Bilal Ahanagar, three childhood friends who grow up in an atmosphere of peace and amity in Srinagar, Kashmir, until the night of 20 January 1990 changes it all. While Deewan is forced to flee from his home, Safeena's mother becomes 'collateral damage' and Bilal has to embrace a wretched life of poverty and fear. The place they called paradise becomes a battleground and their friendship struggles when fate forces them to choose sides against their will. Twenty years later destiny brings them to a crossroads again, when they no longer know what is right and what is wrong. While both compassion and injustice have the power to transform lives, will the three friends now choose to become sinful criminals or pacifist saints? The Tree with a Thousand Apples is a universal story of cultures, belongingness, revenge and atonement. The stylised layered format, fast-paced narration and suspenseful storytelling makes for a powerful, gripping read. Seller Inventory # NIY-9789385285516
