Almost Tomorrow

'Almost Tomorrow' is a riveting story of two sisters, Parveen and Bulbul and their journey to survival. The book, to begin with, tackles so much that history, speaking of publication – has not been given much attention to. As such is the Brick-Kiln industry in Pakistan which bonded Parveen and the other young people as a result of landlessness and high unemployment. They were all compelled to take money in advance from kiln owners for their daily sustenance by selling their labor. Further, this book digs deep into what transpired between Pakistan and India after the World War II took place. Also, this book would raise questions whether or not Great Britain was indeed good for India and its people, considering that their steps were evident.
Although written in a fictitious manner, this book by Sean Mcquade is a beautiful literary piece and an informative one which gives every reader, especially the younger generation a clear picture of Anglo Indians and their community’s contribution to the country. The chapters are dealt concisely with photos to illustrate the text and I find it to be a writing that is well crossed-referenced.
I would not say this book is for all since the history and its recipe can only get complicated somewhere in the story, but any good reader will definitely love this book and the heart that has been put to it by the author and any reader can totally feel it. Almost Tomorrow is a book that pictures struggles, sacrifices and hope – a highly commendable book!
