The Association of Small Bombs by Karan Mahajan. “This is a beautifully written, very sad book about a Kashmiri terrorist who detonates a bomb in a crowded Delhi market and a family whose sons are its victims. The title refers to an NGO started by that family to unify and comfort victims of bombings that do not impact enough people to elicit much support. It’s a complicated story that spans many years and which, surprisingly, manages to make the terrorist a sympathetic character”.
