Description
A picture of Princess Amrit Kaur is found by Italian author Livia Manera Sambuy in a Mumbai museum on a hot day in 2007. Although the image is stunning and striking, the caption will forever alter Livia's life. In order to save Jewish lives, the Punjabi princess allegedly sold her diamonds in occupied Paris, but after doing so, she was detained by the Gestapo and deported to a death camp, where she perished a year later. It's a sensational story - and for Livia, the beginning of a compulsive search for the truth as she delves into the history of the British Raj, the diamonds and sapphires of the twentieth-century aristocracy, and the lives of extraordinary figures: bankers, jewellers, explorers and spies. Past and present converge when Livia travels to meet Bubbles, the princess's daughter, now in her eighties. Striving to reconnect Bubbles with the elusive woman who abandoned her in 1933, Livia unearths a strange and complicated family history; one that diverges unexpectedly from the story that she set out to uncover. Filled with glamour and terror, beauty and sorrow, In Search of Amrit Kaur is an engrossing detective story, a kaleidoscopic history lesson, and a moving portrait of mothers, lovers and daughters across the century, seeking personal freedom.
