Over the years that follow, the perfumer's apprentice and calligrapher's apprentice fall in love with their ancient crafts and with each other, dreaming of the life they will one day share. But as the struggle for Indian independence gathers force, their beloved city is ravaged by Partition. Suddenly, they find themselves on opposite sides: Samir, a Hindu, becomes Indian and Firdaus, a Muslim, becomes Pakistani, their love now forbidden. Severed from one another, Samir and Firdaus make a series of fateful decisions that will change the course of their lives forever. As their paths spiral away from each other, they must each decide how much of the past they are willing to let go, and what it will cost them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lush, sensuous, and deeply romantic, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Everlasting Things\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of two lovers and two nations, split apart by forces beyond their control, yet bound by love and memory.
