Review
"Set in the last 50 years of British rule in India, this story tells of how a traditional Indian princess survives political turbulance
and a Westernized and decadent husband to control eventually the fate of her ancestral kingdom. The focus however is not the heroine nor any other character but historical and sociological events. This, along with a critique of British rule, is the novel's dominant interest." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
