📘 About the Book The Lucky Ones
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year, The Lucky Ones is a powerful memoir that weaves personal and political history, recounting Zara’s harrowing experience surviving anti-Muslim violence in contemporary India. At sixteen, she and her family were forced into hiding for three months as their city was overtaken by brutal sectarian violence, an event that shaped the course of India’s political future. Hailed by NPR and Time, this gripping story is a must-read.
