Book Description | Against the turbulent backdrop of war torn Europe and India in the final days of the Raj, Adam Cullworthy, a British army officer, is introduced to the, romantic and often treacherous life of his school friend Rindi Debrahm. The story, which spans 30 years from 1928 to 1959, opens at Kushnapur Palace in the foothills of the Himalayas. Home to Rindi's father the Maharajah of Kushnapur, it holds secrets of family conspiracy, religious conflict and a multi-layered web of intrigue surrounding a precious, bejewelled Indian sculpture. Adam is drawn into this exotic and secretive world, but could never have imagined the role they had planned for him and the profound effect this would have on his life. |
Editorial Review | An epic rollercoster story full of passion Patricia Fowler I love India and have been twice so was keen to read this book. An unusual story that brings to life the passion of beliefs and loyalty. I sailed through this book. Key characters are gorgeous, especially Rindi who I fell in love with and could be easily portrayed in a movie by a Bollywood heart throb. The horrors of partition in particular are brought to life and I was with the characters every step of the way as they experienced this. The story has lots of twists and turns and kept me hooked. A really great read!. Highly recommended! |
