A compelling narrative to start with. Entertaining account of partition through the eyes of Nehru, Mountbattens, Gandhi and Jinnah. Patel too if you can add a bit more. Divided into four parts, this book is a first class account from deconstruction of every character to their views(also the controversial ones)and eventually the partition. To be precise this is right from Earl Mountbatten's appointment as Viceroy to his death. Do read.
