520 "Spanning more than half a century and cities from New
Delhi to Atlanta, Anjali Enjeti's debut is a heartfelt and
human portrait of the long shadow of the Partition of the
Indian subcontinent on the lives of three generations. The
story begins in August 1947. Unrest plagues the streets of
New Delhi leading up to the birth of the Muslim majority
nation of Pakistan, and the Hindu majority nation of
India. Sixteen-year-old Deepa navigates the changing
politics of her home, finding solace in messages of
intricate origami from her secret boyfriend Amir. Soon
Amir flees with his family to Pakistan and a tragedy
forces Deepa to leave the subcontinent forever. The story
also begins nearly seven decades later and half a world
away, in Atlanta. While grieving both a pregnancy loss and
the implosion of her marriage, Deepa's granddaughter Shan
begins the search for her estranged grandmother, a prickly
woman who had no interest in knowing her. When she begins
to piece together her family history shattered by the
Partition, Shan discovers how little she actually knows
about her ancestors and what they endured. For readers of
Jess Walter's Beautiful Ruins and Min Jin Lee's Pachinko,
The Parted Earth follows characters on their search for
identity after loss uproots their lives. Above all, it is
a novel about families weathering the lasting violence of
separation, and how it can often take a lifetime to find
unity and peace"--|cProvided by publisher.
