Om denne bog
Daughter of the royal kennel keeper, the beautiful Jindan Kaur went on to become Maharaja Ranjit Singh''s youngest and last queen, his favourite. She became regent when her son, Dalip, barely six years old, unexpectedly inherited the throne. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, passionate, and dedicated to protecting her son''s heritage, Jindan fought hard to keep the British from annexing Punjab. Her power and influence were so formidable that the British imprisoned and exiled the rebel queen. But that did not crush her indomitable will. An exquisite love story of a king and a commoner, a cautionary tale about loyalty and betrayal, and a powerful parable of the indestructible bond between mother and child, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni''s unforgettable novel brings alive one of the most fearless women of the nineteenth century, an inspiration for our times.''An unforgettable story about the fearless, much-feared queen whom history seems to have forgotten.'' Shabana Azmi.''Divakaruni''s magic with words and exceptional storytelling skills shine through her writing.'' Times of India.
