A Feast Of Roses

undefined

Review ------ "Feast of Roses" is the sequel to The Twentieth Wife and the title is so apt. The journey of Mehrunnisa from being a wife to the ruler to the guiding force to the emperor is just so beautifully expressed. And the episode "Feast of Roses" is so captivating that it would leave the reader engrossed and you can actually feel the moment around you. An admirer of Mughal Dynasty and love for Indian History, the trilogy is worth the read and a valuable possession to my collection. --Tasneem Ali Apr 18, 2013 You will not be able to put the book down. Even as I'm finished reading it, I want to go back to it again and wish it would not have ended. The writing style of the author makes you feel that you are a part of the times being told, and actually living it. Wonderful book!!! --Neha Sood Mar 12, 2013 My mother bought this book for me. For her it was an experimental read. When I began to read this book, in the dark and wet forests of north Bengal, I didn't want it to end. I always had a weakness for Historical Fiction and this book became one of the best that I had ever read. The intricate details of Mughal life made my imagination run wild! Every woman should read this book, just to see how much we are actually capable of. This book has become my favourite and often I read parts of it, just to marvel at the pure splendour of Induji's writing. Beautiful, from beginning to end. --Jahnavi Jha Jun 11, 2012 About the Author ---------------- Indu Sundaresan graduated in economics from India and went to the US where she did an MS in operations research and an MA in economics.
