- Summary:
- Two years after Marina Givens left the stifling restrictions of Victorian England for India, she is an outcast in the land she now calls home. Scorned by the colonial British for her sham marriage to a Punjabi native and resented by her husband's people for taking her infant stepson away from them, she must find a path through the rising storm of political turmoil and civil strife that will put both sides to rest--and satisfy the confused beating of her own heart. In a sweeping tapestry of the exotic world of Raj, and a poignant novel of love and destiny, Thalassa Ali once again weaves a pivotal period of history into a vivid and unforgettable saga that will leave readers breathless.
