Maharanis

More about the book

"In Maharanis Lucy Moore recreates the lives of four women: two grandmothers, a daughter and a granddaughter, all of them princesses of the royal courts of India." "Full of spirit and courage, each maharani changed the world she lived in, shaping the way modern Indian women define themselves. This is an intimate portrait of a nation during an era of great change - the rise and fall of the Raj and India's long road to Independence and beyond."
