This well-crafted novel, by Shauna Singh Baldwin, was the winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize 2000 for best Book in Canada. In What The Body Remembers, a 16-year-old girl is thrilled when she learns that she is to become the second wife of a wealthy Sikh whose first wife has failed to bear him an heir. The conflict between the teen and the Sikh’s first wife mirrors the historical conflict in India between the Hindus and Muslims during the turbulent period of the Partition. | What The Body Remembers by Shauna Singh Baldwin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
