About: Vermilion Harvest - Playtime at the Bagh Historical fiction love story (not romance). Literary fiction. In a politically tense Amritsar in 1919, an Anglo-Indian schoolteacher and a feisty Muslim stu- dent activist fall in love, but find that courting openly is easier said than done — not only are they from different communities but his political activism comes at the cost of their romance. Against the deadline of a ticking time-bomb, the schoolteacher must find her lover to warn him about General Dyer's impending attack on Jallianwallah Bagh. But will she succeed in getting to the venue on time? ‘Playtime at the Bagh’ during Baisakhi is a metaphor for General Dyer’s game of bullets in Jallianwallah Bagh on April 13th 1919. https://reenita.com/
