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.

Overdoing the details
I was told this was a good read, so I bought it.
A few chapters in, the hugely deep detail killed it for me.
I mean you can spend a few lines desctibing, for example, a shirt, if it is relevant.
In this book not only does it go into details of that 'shirt', but he gets into each button of said shirt, as well as each buttonhole, and each hole into which the button is stitched to the shirt.
Detail to the point of drowning in minutae.
I gave up.
I am sure there is some good somewhere, but it didn't hold it for me.

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