A bomb—one of the many “small” bombs that go off seemingly unheralded across the world—detonates in the Delhi marketplace, instantly claiming the lives of the Khurana boys, to the devastation of their parents. Mansoor survives, bearing the physical and psychological effects of the bomb. After a brief stint at university in America, Mansoor returns to Delhi, where his life becomes entangled with the mysterious and charismatic Ayub, a fearless young activist whose own allegiances and beliefs are more malleable than Mansoor could imagine. Woven among the story of the Khuranas and the Ahmeds is the gripping tale of Shockie, a Kashmiri bomb maker who has forsaken his own life for the independence of his homeland.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friends of the Mill Valley Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51921820549351,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/3397\/3991\/files\/71Z7vJV8JXL._AC_UY218.jpg?v=1774475309","url":"https:\/\/friendsmvl.org\/products\/association-of-small-bombs-pb","provider":"Friends of the Mill Valley Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
