Book Description
A personal, moving, and vibrant picture of one of the most beautiful and troubled places in the world, described through the experiences of one family, whose fortunes have changed dramatically with those of the region. If there is a paradise on earth, it is definitely here, here and only here," said the early seventeenth-century Mughal Emperor Jehangir when describing the Kashmir Valley. But for nearly twenty years this delicate mountain region has been torn by a brutal conflict that has pitched idealism against Islamist militancy and military crackdown. In the tradition of Ryszard Kapuscinski, this is an intimate story told by the author, journalist, and aid worker Justine Hardy. Having lived and worked in Kashmir for many years, she draws the reader beyond the headlines into the world of In the Valley of Mist. A family portrait, the book describes a unique and gentle culture that has been shattered by the impact of insurgency, repression, and Islamic extremism in a place once famous for the warmth between its Hindu and Muslim residents. "If you want people to know do not tell stories that will make them hold their breath like in a made-up film. Tell them the truth. It is strong enough," she was told when she asked permission of her Kashmiri friends to tell this story. Revealing and disturbing, In the Valley of Mist paints Kashmir as the template for the changing face of Islam.

But our tenacious narrator is full of anger, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to live, while Jamie is dead. Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend--knowing all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been you instead?

Book Description
Of Mists and Monsoons traces the life and fortunes of the principal character from the mists of Ireland to the monsoons of India. Born the eldest child of an Irish Catholic family of subsistent potato farmers, Sean O'Hara was in his teens when Ireland was overwhelmed by the Great Famine in 1845. His family struggled to survive two successive years of potato blight but succumbed one by one, leaving Sean the sole survivor.The only way out offered was the chance to join a unit of the British Army stationed in Dublin, and with them, he was transported to India. He changed his name, which was customary for Irish recruits, and arrived in India as Joseph Harrington. Years on, Joe was overwhelmed again; this time by the Indian Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. In the meantime, this remarkable young man overcame every challenge he was set. He married an Irish girl he found in a convent and, with her, raised a family of four. The story is loosely based on the author's own family history as her great grandfather was indeed born in Ireland, joined the British Army, and went to India. He stayed there for the rest of his life and founded a family that remained there until Partition in 1946 drove them to England and Uganda. Anecdotes from the author's childhood told by her mother are woven ito the story wherever possible. It is worthy of note that Joseph Harrington prophecied to his close friend Rajah Saeed Khan that though the Indians were defeated in their Mutiny of 1857, they would finally rise and throw off the British overlords. He was proved right in 1947.
