ABOUT THE BOOK

Madras, 1944
While World War II rages in Europe and the Japanese army draws
closer to India, Raji and her sisters are sent off with their mother to
stay in Manikoil, her mother's family village. But with her brother now a
soldier in the British Indian Army and refugees fleeing from Malaya,
Burma and other eastern countries back to India, Manikoil is no longer
the peaceful haven it once was.
And while there is hope of Independence in the air, Raji is uncertain
whether it will come to pass-and what it will truly mean for her and her
family.
The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India
during the struggle for independence.

books. Aditi Krishnakumar works in the finance industry in Singapore,
