But when they arrive in the Kingdom of Jhansi, the British army is met with a surprising challenge. India is fractured and divided into kingdoms, each independent and wary of one another, seemingly no match for the might of the English. When the British Empire sets its sights on India in the mid-nineteenth century, it expects a quick and easy conquest. I am breaking out a new box of tissues for the impending flood of tears.įrom the internationally bestselling author of Nefertiti and Cleopatra’s Daughter comes the breathtaking story of Queen Lakshmi-India’s Joan of Arc-who against all odds defied the mighty British invasion to defend her beloved kingdom. I fully expect to fall head over heels for Moran's rich characters, as I always do. The story is set in the mid-1800s, against the brutal and unrelenting backdrop of British Imperialism. This is the harrowing narrative of India's Rani Lakshmi, told from the view of fictional character Sita, one of Lakshmi's deadly bodyguards (the Durga Dal). Her books never fail to pull me in and make me WEEP.
