The descriptions of the wilderness, the way Khushwant Singh talks about the river, the trees, the grass, the fields, the night sky are my favourite part of the book.
The story isn't what will stick with me, it's the characters, and how people we least expect good deeds from are the ones who end up doing the most vital ones.
