 sweltering day in 2007\, having just lost her brother to illness\, Livia M
 anera Sambuy finds herself at a museum in Mumbai\, enthralled by a 1924 ph
 otograph of a stunningly elegant Indian princess. What she reads in the pi

  Manera becomes drawn into the mystery of Amrit Kaur. Delving into the his
 tory of the British Raj\, its durbars and society balls and jubilees\, she
  shows us the precipitous decline of India’s royal caste through the lives
  of extraordinary figures such as Amrit’s father\, the larger-than-life Ma
 haraja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala\; the Jewish banker Albert Kahn\; and 
 the Russian explorer Nicholas Roerich—all while pursuing the elusive Amrit

 looking at books that will be unique and potentially cover ground-breaking

 to feel that they must read it to participate. They may end up wanting to 
 read the book after they hear more about it!\n\nFor those attending in the

 rights movement.\n\nIn Search of Amrit Kaur is an engrossing detective sto

 king personal freedom against the backdrop of a world in upheaval.
