Bena’s Summer
A young adult book by debut author Shibal Bhartiya. Written in a strong, distinctive voice, this is the compelling story of one summer in the life of an eight-year-old girl who is witness to riots, death, destruction and abuse over one summer but whose grit and audacity define her response to all these.
