Week 3 Discussion Question:

When Eshan Khan came with Iqbal from the Liberation Front, he took the children to freedom.  Reread page 84-85 where Fatima looks back at Hussain Khan's factory as they drove away and thought, "After the bend in the road, the workshop disappeared, but that little bathroom window of almonds, open sky, and hope would stay with me forever." Talk about how the kids must be feeling, and what Fatima means.
