All throughout the novel, I just wanted to hug her, feed her, and tell her everything would be alright in the end.

Thanks to all this, Nisha is such an adorable and precious character. She’s too pure and innocent to deal with everything that is going on around her. We read her thoughts and her doubts as she confides in her late mother.

Nisha was born in what is now Pakistan to a Hindu father and a Muslim mother and so, because of this, she is not sure of where she belongs and of why so many people are after her and other Hindus in a place they used to call home.Īs you can imagine, this is not an easy situation for a twelve-year-old girl to be in! Since the whole novel is written in diary form, we get a very close and precious look inside Nisha’s brain. The Night Diary is told entirely from our main character’s point of view.

I hope you get around to reading it and that you love it as much as I did! And so let me talk to you about all the awesome themes and stupidly great aspects of this incredible novel! 🍛 a super cute and soft main character Since I loved this novel so freaking much!!! I’m bringing you the final review for it. Middle grade is not something I ever read, but this one was such a nice surprise… It took me two sittings to finish the whole novel - I couldn’t put it down! I feel like I could incoherently gush over this novel forever! I’ve been sitting on this review for a few days and the characters and story haven’t left my mind since. You guys, this boooooook!!! It hit me right on the feels as soon as I picked it up. The Night Diary follows this family’s journey for their lives, as refugees on trains and on foot. When Papa decides that staying in Pakistan is too dangerous, Nisha and her family are forced to secretly cross the border into the “new” India and find a new home. Her mother was Muslim, her father is Hindu, and it is the summer of 1947: the year when India frees itself from the British and is split in two. Nisha is a twelve-year-old girl living in soon-to-be Pakistan who doesn’t know where she belongs anymore.
