In a village in Bengal live three sisters, daughters of a well-respected doctor. Priya: intelligent and idealistic, resolved to follow in her father's footsteps and become a doctor though society frowns on it. Deepa: the beauty, determined to make a marriage that will bring her family joy and status. Jamini: devout, sharp-eyed, and a talented quiltmaker, with deeper passions than she reveals. Theirs is a home of love and safety, a refuge from the violent events taking shape in the nation. Then their father is killed during a riot, and even their neighbors turn against them, bringing the events of their country closer to home. When the partition of India is officially decided, a drastic--and dangerous--change is in the air. India is now for Hindus, Pakistan for Muslims. The sisters find themselves separated from one another, each on a different path. They fear for what will happen to not just themselves, but one another."-- 541 $d 20230121. 650 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 $a fathers $x Death $v Fiction. 651 $a India $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 $a India $x History $y Partition, 1947 $v Fiction. 651 $a Bengal (India) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 20 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20240125010628.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014306.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031620.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20231005012939.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011023.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20230822012649.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230802013813.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011230.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010453.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230602011055.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010636.0 952 $l AEPA906 $d 20230401092542.0 $m Ad Fic 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230302010245.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230221011313.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230207012529.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230204010828.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230203011304.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230202011256.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010305.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20230131011814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0D910CA8A13511EDB1B519BC20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
