Popati Hiranandani’s autobiography and short stories poignantly capture the two worlds of pre- and post-Partition India with their attendant losses and pains, joys and triumphs.

The first English translation of a Sindhi woman writer’s autobiography, The Pages of My Life maps Popati Hiranandani’s journey as a homeless, community-less, displaced woman. Caught in the web of nostalgia, agony, and the pain of separation, the memoir traces the life of a Sindhi woman poised between two vastly different worlds: from childhood losses and joys to triumphs of early youth in Hyderabad, Sindh to profound realizations of adulthood. The stories, on the other hand, may be read as fictional extensions of her real life. Her female protagonists bring to life critical junctures of unbecoming and becoming as they make their way in post-Partition India.
