Exiled to Freedom

Exiled to Freedom | S G D Singh

11 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

Seventeen-year-old Joti lives a peaceful life on her ancestral farm in Punjab, far from political turmoil, foreign wars, and the struggle for independence. Then, in the summer of 1947, her country is suddenly partitioned to create two sovereign nations-Pakistan and India. Punjab erupts into a shattered land of nightmares, torn apart by death and destruction. Before the violence subsides, millions of people will have lost their lives and Joti will be one of the countless refugees struggling to survive one of the greatest human tragedies of the modern era. In the summer of 2018, seventeen-year-old Priya travels from her home in New York City to her great-grandmother's farm in Punjab. As she searches for meaning in the materialistic and shallow existences of her American family, she becomes determined to uncover the mysteries of the past and heal her family's wounds left too long unattended. Priya soon finds herself on an adventure of discovery, learning what it is to love and what it means to know true peace.

A nested story about Priya, a teen visiting family in India, and her great-grandmother's experiences during Partition. Takes a bizarre turn at the end, morphing into an Ocean's 11 heist attempt. My favourite part was the history of Partition, and what Priya's grandmother went through b/c it was a real part of history. The heist part at the end wasn't really believable to me, but it was fun and it lightened the atmosphere after the Partition tale

SiriGuruDevSingh It was partially wishful thinking—because the gold is still buried there (where the house has been turned into an apartment building). But when I suggested to them that it would be awesome if they could get it back and give it to the descendants of the men who saved them, everyone just laughed at me like I‘m nuts. I probably am!😂🤣❤️❤️❤️ (edited) 5y
