Terry Joshi Tuesday, 3/14/06, 8:55 AM I just finished reading What the Body Remembers. My husband is from Punjabi Hindu origin; he was born in Rawalpindi in 1945 and his family roots are in the Lahore area. He has a clear childhood memory of the frightening journey to New Delhi at Partition. His family was protected by their Muslim neighbors who helped them to escape. As a result of our long marriage I am more familiar than most westerners with the history of Partition, but it was fascinating to read your book and gain new insight into the events from the perspective of the Sikhs. And look at the present day mess that has been the result of the cavalier British attitude! Ah well, that's another book. Best wishes, Terry Joshi From: Yonkers, NY Email: mommylooloo@hotmail.com Regarding (Title): What the Body Remembers

Hira Monday, 1/16/06, 3:12 PM After reading What the Body Remembers for an english project, I have a completely different outlook on the condition of females in a south asian society. This book has truly moved me, especially the way Satya's character kills her self. I really loved this book and wish to congratulate Shauna Singh on the wonderful peice of literature she has created.
