The Feast of Roses by Indu Sundaresan
4.0
Second book in the Taj trilogy, The Feast of Roses, is a continuation of the passionate, romantic love story of Emperor Jahangir and Mehrunnisa.
Married to Jahangir and bestowed the title Nur Jahan, Mehrunnisa is his 20th & last wife. Theirs is a story of true love, that eventually ends in Jahangir passing on his sovereignty to her. Defying the established norms of womanhood in seventeenth-century India, Mehrunnisa rises to become Padshah Begum, and the strongest in the empire. With rivals both inside the imperial harem and at court, Mehrunnisa has a difficult fight to gain power & wealth.
A woman with a voice, in the 17th century, Mehrunnisa is strong minded & cunning who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. And get she does, sometimes even at the expense of personal sorrow. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, and am looking forward to finishing its sequel soon.
