On a January morning in 1938, Samir Vij first locks eyes with Firdaus Khan through the rows of perfume bottles in his family's ittar shop in Lahore. Over the years that follow, the perfumer's apprentice and calligrapher's apprentice fall in love with their ancient crafts and with each other, dreaming of the life they will one day share. But as the struggle for Indian independence gathers force, their beloved city is ravaged by Partition. Suddenly, they find themselves on opposite sides: Samir, a Hindu, becomes Indian and Firdaus, a Muslim, becomes Pakistani, their love now forbidden. Severed from one another, Samir and Firdaus make a series of fateful decisions that will change the course of their lives forever. As their paths spiral away from each other, they must each decide how much of the past they are willing to let go, and what it will cost them. Lush, sensuous, and deeply romantic, The Book of Everlasting Things is the story of two lovers and two nations, split apart by forces beyond their control, yet bound by love and memory. Filled with exquisite descriptions of perfume and calligraphy, spanning continents and generations, Aanchal Malhotra's debut novel is a feast for the senses and the heart" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interfaith marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Hindus $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslims $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $x History $y Partition, 1947 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Pakistan $x History $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011706.0 952 $l RLPB371 $d 20240514011427.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043547.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022447.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202014202.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032341.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20230805010411.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011326.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=358BAB181A3011EEAF9CB4AD47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
