Part Two is History

And just like that, I'm almost on page 400 and done with Part Two.  What tragedy Saleem has had to deal with - along with all the other things that have happened to him in his short life, to have practically the entirety of his family wiped out in one fell swoop.  I'm not sure how that leads to his purity (as he calls it), but nonetheless, the last section of the book will have to be somewhat different than the other two, which while focused on India's first two decades as a nation free of British rule, also focused a great deal on familial relations in all their glory and sadness.  It will be interesting to see how his life as an adult plays out.  Guess I better get to it.
