New Southern books we’re eager to read in 2021, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Both about firsthand trauma and inherited trauma...galvanized by the modern belief that recovery and remembrance can help restore what history has broken.”—The Wall Street Journal
"When the puzzle pieces come together at the end...it’s both a bittersweet relief & an opportunity for reflection on the complexity of interfaith relationships, the cost of sacrifice & what it means to be home.” —The San Francisco Chronicle
"Like her characters, Enjeti ultimately reaches for hope. The Parted Earth is a testament to the tremendous strength of the people of India and Pakistan who found the courage to begin again." —Shelf Awareness
"An auspicious fiction debut." —The Chicago Review of Books
"When traditional family ties fray—here, a legacy of generational trauma—other kinds of love and support often grow. As a result, chosen family becomes a strong influence in The Parted Earth. Through the support of women like Chandani and Gertrude, Enjeti highlights the unique bonds and challenges found within such intense, complex friendships." —Chapter16
"Anjali Enjeti has created a first novel that adroitly explores the lasting impacts of families fractured and repaired.”—Booklist
"Though an author's note says that only the historical aspects of this story are nonfictional, the fact that a character shares a name with one of Enjeti's grandmothers (as seen in the dedication) underlines the pulse of truth that makes this book feel so urgent and important. Illuminating, absorbing, and resonant." —Kirkus Reviews
"This intergenerational account of remembering and reconciliation sits comfortably alongside works of its kind." —Publishers Weekly
"The Parted Earth is an epic novel of home and homeland, family and community, love and betrayal. In Anjali Enjeti’s deft hands, the story of a woman’s search for her grandfather, and for a connection to the ancestors, is brought to life. A fantastic debut." —Laila Lalami, author of The Other Americans
"In this captivating, far-reaching debut, Anjali Enjeti, brings to life one family's decades-long search for love, peace and a place to call home." —Jenny Offill, Weather
"Epic in scope, intimate in the telling, Anjali Enjeti's The Parted Earth is a devastating portrayal of Partition and the trauma it wreaked in the generations that followed. The gripping love story of Deepa and Amir cuts across decades, in a journey through New Delhi, London, Atlanta and across the Indian diaspora. A magnificent debut."—Vanessa Hua, author of A River of Stars
"A deeply affecting novel about the ways in which the fates of individuals and the sub-continent itself were fractured by Partition as well as the magic by which we find our way back to ourselves and each other through time and space."—Nayomi Munaweera, author of What Lies Between Us
