Maharanis : The Lives and Times of Three Generations of Indian Princesses - Thryft

Lives of Indian princesses captured in history.

MAHARANIS is a compelling read for those interested in the Royal courts of India and the lives of extraordinary women who lived in a time of great change. The book offers a brilliant recreation of the royal ceremonies, tiger hunts, and exotic palaces of India, as well as a glimpse into the glamorous international scene of the Edwardian and interwar era. The lives of Chimnabai, Sunity, Indira, and Ayesha, in addition to offering a fascinating insight into the rise and fall of the Raj, are a testament to the remarkable women who changed the world they lived in.

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

A rare, exotic portrait of the matriarchs of a brilliant Indian family Ranging from the final days of the Raj and the British Empire to the present, Lucy Moore vividly re-creates a splendid lost world and describes India's national growing pains through the sumptuous, audacious lives of four ravishing, influential women of the same family—Sunity Devi, friend to Queen Victoria; Chimnabai, fierce nationalist; Indira, her flamboyant daughter; and Ayesha, her equally fashionable daughter—who fought tirelessly and with incomparable grace to turn an ancient tradition of noblesse oblige into a progressive democracy.
