Krátky popis
On a sweltering day in 2007, Italian writer Livia Manera Sambuy
encounters a photograph of Princess Amrit Kaur in a Mumbai museum.
The picture is arresting, gorgeous - but the caption will change
Livia's life forever. It claims that the Punjabi princess sold her
jewels in occupied Paris to save Jewish lives, only to be arrested
by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp where she died
within a year.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.
