Book Description
Spanning more than half a century and cities from New Delhi to Atlanta, Anjali Enjeti's debut is a heartfelt and human portrait of the long shadow of the Partition of India on the lives of three generations of women. The story begins in August 1947. Unrest plagues the streets of New Delhi leading up to the birth of the Muslim majority nation of Pakistan, and the Hindu majority nation of India. Sixteen-year-old Deepa navigates the changing politics of her home, finding solace in messages of intricate origami from her secret boyfriend Amir. Soon Amir flees with his family to Pakistan and a tragedy forces Deepa to leave the subcontinent forever. The story also begins sixty years later and half a world away, in Atlanta. While grieving both a pregnancy loss and the implosion of her marriage, Deepa's granddaughter Shan begins the search for her estranged grandmother, a prickly woman who had little interest in knowing her. As she pieces together her family history shattered by the Partition, Shan discovers how little she actually knows about the women in her family and what they endured. For readers of Jess Walter's Beautiful Ruins, The Parted Earth follows Shan on her search for identity after loss uproots her life. Above all, it is a novel about families weathering the lasting violence of separation, and how it can often takes a lifetime to find unity and peace.

Book Description
Parted Not by Death is, above all, a love story. It spans centuries of time, based on the premise of reincarnation. The two soul mates originally came here from another world. Over the course of three lifetimes throughout history, they searched for each other again at all costs. Because nothing else matters. Two alien beings, soulmates, are forced to flee their homeworld and come to live on Earth. A remnant of their race follow in spaceships. Over the following ages, the soulmate/lovers reincarnate here, not know each other's identity. You will find them in medieval times, American colonists, and finally in modern times. Three other personalities are equally important in all the dramas which follow. How do you find your other half – true love – if you don't recognize them? At long last, finally, they are truly reunited. Then a ship returns for the lovers with the offer of returning to the homeworld. Will they go? Or will they choose to stay on Earth with families and loved ones? My story is a fantasy with elements of science fiction. Or just perhaps, it is based on truth.

The Ways That Often Parted
Author: Lori BaronPublisher: SBL Press
ISBN: 0884143163
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
Focused studies on the historical interactions and formations of Judaism and Christianity This volume of essays, from an internationally renowned group of scholars, challenges popular ways of understanding how Judaism and Christianity came to be separate religions in antiquity. Essays in the volume reject the belief that there was one parting at an early point in time and contest the argument that there was no parting until a very late date. The resulting volume presents a complex account of the numerous ways partings occurred across the ancient Mediterranean spanning the first four centuries CE. Features: Case studies that explore how Jews and Christians engaged in interaction, conflict, and collaboration Examinations of the gospels, Paul’s letters, the book of James, as well as rabbinic and noncanonical Christian texts New evidence for historical reconstructions of how Christianity came on the world scene
