The Eye of the Horse

---

The Eye of the Horse, written by Whitbread Children's Award-winning author Jamila Gavin and published by Mammoth, is a compelling historical novel set in 1948. Following the aftermath of India's Partition and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, Indian siblings Jaspal and Marvinder face personal and cultural conflict while living in England. While Jaspal struggles with resentment and longs to return to his ancestral village in Punjab, Marvinder discovers her musical talent as a violinist and builds a life in England. Rich in historical context, the novel explores themes of displacement, prejudice, identity, and reconciliation across two contrasting worlds.
