About This Novel
In the summer of 1947, railway clerk Dhiren Bose is given one final task before the line to the hills is suspended: escort a school's worth of children and their teacher, Latika, out of a district that is no longer safe. The Last Train To Kalimpong is the story of that journey, told across mountain stations, tea estates and mist-filled valleys where the news arrives days late and always wrong.
Meera Sundaram grounds the epic in the small: a ration book, a stationmaster's ledger, a borrowed shawl. The result is a Partition novel that avoids melodrama and finds its power in ordinary people making decent decisions under impossible pressure.
Meticulously researched and beautifully paced, this is essential reading for anyone drawn to Indian historical fiction, railway history, or the human cost of 1947.
