Shadow Princess
Shadow Princess: A Novel | Indu Sundaresan
2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Critically acclaimed author Indu Sundaresan picks up where she left off in The Twentieth Wife and The Feast of Roses, returning to seventeenth-century India as two princesses struggle for supremacy of their fathers kingdom. Trapped in the shadow of the magnificent tomb their grief-stricken father is building for his beloved deceased wife, the emperors daughters compete for everything: control over the imperial harem, their fathers affection, and the future of their country. They are forbidden to marry and instead choose to back different brothers in the fight for ultimate power over the throne. But only one of the sisters will succeed. With an enthusiasm for history and a flair for rich detail, Indu Sundaresan brings readers deep into the complicated lives of Indian women of the time period and highlights the profound history of one of the most celebrated works of architecture in the world, the Taj Mahal.

I recently finished the Royal Diary “Jahanara: Princess of Princesses” and decided to follow up with this adult historical fiction of the same woman. In the background is Ember, expecting me to entertain her

I‘ve had it on my shelf now for a few years. #cleanuptbr #india #princesses #historicalfiction #petsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy

Awful novel. This was the third and final book in the series and everything from the writing to the plot was a snoozefest. The most I've rolled my eyes while reading a book after Da Vinci Code. The first book is interesting enough to keep going, second is amazing, but this one is the worst ending a series can get. Anyway, I'm back into reading again so that's something good. On to the next one.
