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.

Not a fan of the narration , had to switch to the physical book halfway through!
But the story was brilliant and very realistic and eye-opening

Searing story but poor narration

I think the publisher should re-record this with a better narrator. The way the sentences are broken and the way they are structured by the narrator is atrocious. The Indian words need better pronunciation and the narrator makes the story feel less.

Wonderful Written but Not Narrated

Narration a bit flat. Story enjoyable - I cannot really recommend it. It felt too simplistic for me but I enjoyed it.

Good story, not so well narrated

I read the book many years ago and remembered enjoying it. The story was still very interesting but the narration so poor that several times I almost abandoned the book. The accent , possibly trying to be Indian, was irritating as was the dull monotonous reading.

Awful narration

The performance of this novel made it painful to get through. I am sure there is a great book in there but struggled to finish.

Not the best
