5.0 out of 5 stars It is a very enjoyable book. I recommend it greatly., 10 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wheel of Surya (Contents) (Paperback)
This book is based on my religion. I really enjoy reading books on the history of my home state. The book is about a boy, Jaspal, a girl, Marvinder, who are parted from their mother in the war. Their father is in England working as a scholar.
Jaspal and older sister Marvinder go to find their father and reunite their family.
This book is the first book of the trilogy. I have read the 3rd book and I also recommend that book as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant start, odd ending, 6 Jun 2002
Started off well, with a good description of life in India just before the war. Both the children and their plight seemed realistic, and were dealt with sensitively. However, the character of the chidren's father seemed rather odd, and the ending just didn't ring true. A good book, but not one to read again.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic book., 13 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wheel of Surya (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
"The Wheel of Surya" is a fantastic book. As a school student I can say that this is the best book I have ever read. Its description of children in India makes its theme really effective. Religious differences is also a big topic covered in this book.
