Publisher's Summary
Mano Majra is a place, Khushwant Singh tells us at the beginning of this classic novel, where Sikhs and Muslims have lived together in peace for hundreds of years. Then one day, at the end of the summer, the "ghost train" arrives, a silent, incredible funeral train loaded with the bodies of thousands of refuges, bringing the village its first taste of the horrors of the civil war. Train to Pakistan is the story of this isolated village that is plunged into the abyss of religious hate. It is also the story of a Sikh boy and a Muslim girl whose love endures and transcends the ravages of war.

Narration and storyline
Narration was average and would have been better with a bit more emotions. The story is great but somewhere during the narration at around 1:48:00 there is a Hindi text interfering ....recording issue ????? However the end of the story was a bit put off as if the entire event was closed with a haste.

the content hits hard, simplicity of narration aws
Based on true events- one of the saddest one in the history- this book takes us through the simple lives caught in the tornedo of tough times of the partition. The content is so full of emotions and yet the author has totally avoided melodrama. He narrates the story so plainly that it doesn't remain a story . Reader feels that he/she is witnessing the events in person. That, I think is the biggest strength of the novel. Needless to say authors witty dialogues and choice of words impresses the readers very often. Read very well by the narrator of this audio book.

Average story telling and narration
I had hoped for better story telling from KS. But the narration was below average and that made it even more painful to listen. in between there's someone who says something in Hindi to comment on the current state of affairs! The narrator is so emotionless

brilliant story. narrator could have been better.
The narrator makes numerous stupid errors and sounds like a poor rendition of a brilliancy.
