An epic novel that spans the time from the days of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee to
an independent India. Against this historical backdrop is the presence of Jaya-
from her childhood as daughter of a maharajah, to her marriage to another, and
her role as mother of the next ruler.
I read many novels set in India-this is one of the best. Not just the story of one remarkable woman, or of the history of a country, it takes us into a world peopled by lovers and warriors, the good and the decadent.
