Publisher's Synopsis
The Taj Mahal stands defiantly in the moonlight, a gorgeous dream of marble and gems, a testimony to the undying love of two human beings. In the eerie light, if you were to free your imagination, you might even see two figures standing closely together at the entrance of the great tomb, with the gentle laughter of a woman floating to your ears upon the breeze. Two lovers buried together in death as they were together in life.
Shah Jahan, Emperor of Mughal India, and his wife, the incomparable Mumtaz Mahal, lived a legendary love story set in a time of incredible riches and power in India. The Mughals were powerful, artistic, refined and emotional. They lived life to the full, never fearing the outcomes.
Imagine the life of Shah Jahan and his beloved wife. Imagine their life of glory, the intrigues of the court, the battles fought and won. Finally..............imagine, if you will, another love story, perhaps equally as great - the love of an Indian girl and her Englishman. An Indian girl who lived in the palace, was an intimate friend of Mumtaz Mahal and experienced the incredible insanity of love in the days of the Taj Mahal.
