An NPR Book of the YearA Seattle Times Book of the Year
William E. Colby Award Winner "A beautifully written, deeply intelligent book about a] crucial moment." -- Fareed Zakaria, CNN Nobody expected the liberation of India and birth of Pakistan to be so violent--it was supposed to be an answer to the dreams of Muslims and Hindus who had been ruled by the British for more than a century. But as the summer of 1947 approached, Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were heavily armed and on edge after a year of riots and gang fighting, and the British rushed to leave. Hell broke loose. Trains carried Muslims west and Hindus east to their slaughter. Some of the most brutal and widespread ethnic cleansing in modern history erupted on both sides of the new border, searing a divide between India and Pakistan that remains a root cause of many of today's most menacing security threats, from jihadi terrorism to nuclear proliferation. Based on major new sources, Nisid Hajari's revelatory Midnight's Furies lays out the searing truth about one of the world's most momentous and least understood tragedies.
"Fast-moving and highly readable . . . The story of what happens when a composite society comes apart." -- New York Times Book Review "Makes the complex and tragic story of the great divide into a page-turner." -- Guardian "Engaging and incisive . . . Hajari writes with grace, precision, and an unerring eye for detail. Midnight's Furies is the best of recent offerings." -- Wall Street Journal

Smooth feet
I just started using this stuff and it really works. The only problem I have is the scent is kind of strong. It doesn't smell bad but I have sensitive sinuses. I am able to use it. I just have to wash my hands right away, so I don't rub my eyes. But it does work really well.

So affordable
I’m honestly so impressed with this hand lotion! From the first use, my hands felt instantly softer and deeply moisturized without any greasy residue. It absorbs quickly, which is perfect for busy days, and leaves my skin feeling smooth for hours.
The scent is light and refreshing—not overpowering at all—and it actually makes using it feel like a little self-care moment. Even after washing my hands, I can still feel the hydration lasting.
If you struggle with dry or rough hands, this is definitely worth it. My hands have never felt better—easy 5 stars!

If you have very dry skin that is thin you might consult your Doctor first.
This product is nice however I have thin skin and if ones skin is too thin It really had some property that actually made my dry skin slough off as it Soaked in. I would not recommend it if you are older and have thin skin or use a medication that might make your skin particularly thin. The first time I used it Ionly used one application, However the next time I put one coat on then because my skinn felt like it was too dry I applied another and as I rubbed it it seemed that my skin wad rubbing ogg and looked like when you wash mud off.
