A Feast of Roses

Royal romance entwines with 17th-century Indian politics.

If you're entranced by the blend of history with a touch of romance, "A Feast Of Roses" might be your next favorite read. Indu Sundaresan paints a vivid picture of a strong female character, Mehrunnisa, who navigates love, power, and politics in a world dominated by men. Her journey as Empress Nur Jahan is an inspiring tale of love, resilience, and strategy underneath the grandeur of the Mughal Empire. As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself immersed in the opulence and intrigue of an era long past, yet alive in this beautifully crafted narrative.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In this lush and romantic sequel to the twentieth wife, Mehrunnisa, the first woman Jahangir marries for love, is now empress Nur Jahan. As a mark of his devotion, he transfers his powers of sovereignty to her. But she has a formidable rival in the imperial harem, Empress Jagat Gosini, who has plotted against her from the moment she entered the emperor's life. Beyond the harem walls, she battles powerful ministers who won't allow a mere woman to have a say in the outside world. Defying all established norms of womanhood in seventeenth-century India, Mehrunnisa combats her rivals by forming a junta of sorts with the three men she can rely on: her father, her brother, and Jahangir's son, Prince Khurram. She demonstrates great strength of character and cunning to get what she wants, sometimes at great personal cost, even almost losing her daughter's love. But she never loses the love of the man who bestows this power upon her: Emperor Jahangir.
