In depth and balanced history of the Partition

I liked the book. It is about a subject I know something about. Yet I learnt a lot.

The narration is terrible however. Why is it narrated by someone unfamiliar with South Asian pronunciation?

The book is excellent. The narration absolutely terrible.
