Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In the spring of 1916, seventeen-year-old Kishan Singh is euphoric in his village Noor Mahal in Punjab, British India as he dreams of going to college, landing a government job and marrying his heartthrob Roop. Summer flies in with promise but ends in disaster when heavy rains flood the fie…lds, wrecking the cotton crop and triggering influenza which leaves behind a trail of dead villagers. Kishan Singh's dreams are ruthlessly washed away. Devastated, he sets off on a life-threatening voyage across two oceans for a distant and unknown land. On a cataclysmic day in 1919, Sophia's idyllic world in Guadalajara, Mexico, falls apart when she becomes a hapless victim to the ravages of the Mexican Revolution. She battles hunger, poverty and near prostitution before embarking on a perilous night journey across the border. Will their paths cross in the land of opportunities that is overrun with racial and class barriers? The Rainbow Acres is a moving saga of migration, selfless love, fortitude, friendship, and the quest for land and identity, set against the backdrop of old Punjab, early California and revolution-torn Mexico. (jacket).

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In the autumn of 1939, seventeenyearold Sammi has been married for only twentyone days when her husband, Hari Singh, an officer in the British Indian Army, is summoned to fight in WWII. The heartbroken couple bid each other goodbye. Sammi awaits Hari Singh's return in her village, Aliwala, a syncretic h…amlet with Sufi bearings in the hinterland of Punjab. It is 1946 but there is no word from Hari Singh. He has been gone for nearly seven years. Caught between her two feuding brothers, Jasjit and Kirpal, the now twentythreeyearold Sammi clings to her husband's memory. India is on the brink of gaining independence from the British. Jasjit worries that independence will damage ageold communal bonds and separate him from his closest friend, Zulfi Sheikh. Meanwhile Kirpal plans to solidify his social standing by forcing Sammi to marry his boyhood friend, the influential Bachan Singh. Will Sammi be forced into a second marriage or will she find the courage to step out of the narrow alleys of Aliwala in search of a new life? Inspired by true events, The Song of Distant Bulbuls is set in a singularly turbulent time in world history. The novel poses epic questions: is happiness an elusive goal? Is love the ultimate aim of human life or a means to something else? What does it take to realize who one truly loves and how much.
