Beautifully written ....... All the characters seems alive . Once you start reading don't want to leave in between . Salute to indu maam for such a wonderful writing.

This is a wonderful book! I was immersed in the grandeur of the Great Mughal empire and most importantly in the engaging story of Mehrunissa and Salim( Jahangir). It is a perfect blend of historical facts and fiction and is a must read for every person who is mesmerized by the beauty and splendor of Ancient Mughal India.

I did not expect it to cast such a great spell on me but as I started reading it, I simply couldn't put it down. I am looking forward to complete my journey by reading the s...

Awesome story telling... A total page turner... Story of Mehrunnissa will surely capture your interest.Indu ma'am you truly deserve a salute to showcase the story of 1 of the most powerful women in the history in such a brilliant way.!!!!

Received my product quickly and safely, Thank you...

Then about the novel ; I had travelled through the 16th century with the Great Mughal kingdom.
Thanks a lot Indu Sundaresan for giving such a cute romantic saga.

I was mesmerized with the writing skills of the author.This book is really fascinating & one won't feel like closing it until the end.After it ends you feel like it should have been a little more longer....One doesn't want it to end.
It's worth mentioning that Mehrunnisa captures heart & it's difficult for the readers to concentrate on the other characters.
The character of Jagat Gosaini is also depicted remarkably well.
All the emotions seem to be happening in front of our eyes.This book is ...

I gifted this book to my mother. She like to read inspiring characters especially from the history which takes back you the past. Hope she loves it.

I loved this book...It is mesmerizing and enthralling.... Mehrunnisa's character was so well described and I loved her for the immense love she had for Prince Salim... And Salim, according to me, was the best of the lot... I loved his dignity, his aura, his shrewdness, his romantic nature.... and even his petulance!!! He was such a charicmatic and down-to-earth person...

Little is known about the Empress Nur Jahan's childhood and early years and this book does that. It takes you away into a whole new era and romance at that time. All the characters like mehrunissa's father, mother and family are beautifully potrayed. Kudos!! to the author. Just loved this book. Needless to say perfect service from flipkart!!!

Unfortunately, I've always underestimated the power of an Indian writer....
This is the first book I've ever read of an Indian author and I must say..... It was the best experience I've ever had in my life reading a book. I kept coming back to it no matter how much work I had. Written and depicted so beautifully, I would proudly gift it to a non-Indian to show off the great Indian History.
Even though my mum isn't an Indian history fanatic she absolutely loved it! Looking forward to the oth...

What a book! What a story! What an interesting history lesson!

The Mughal Empire was so vast and so rich that it was inevitable that there would be lots of in-fighting for the throne. The Empire had a harem but only one of his sons could be Emperor. Competition was ugly. Wars were fought. Lives were lost. There was splendor and love and plain old fashioned good storytelling with the violence real but understated, as was the romance. I was totally captivated.
