Description
A remarkable true story that spans continents and time. In Search of Amrit Kaur is a captivating tale of love, loss, and survival set against the backdrop of World War II. When Italian writer Livia Manera Sambuy encounters a photograph of Princess Amrit Kaur in a Mumbai museum, her life is forever changed. The picture reveals a sensational story: a Punjabi princess who sold her jewels to save Jewish lives, only to be arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp where she died within a year. Livia becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind this enigmatic woman's fate. As she delves into the history of the British Raj, the world of twentieth-century aristocracy, and the lives of extraordinary figures, Livia's search for Amrit Kaur leads her to unexpected places and surprising revelations. With glamour and terror, beauty and sorrow, this engrossing detective story is a moving portrait of mothers, lovers, and daughters across the century, seeking personal freedom.
