Huraian
An extraordinary book that combines travel- and history-writing with brilliant storytelling to give us a portrait of Mumtaz Mahal, in whose memory Shah Jahan built the Taj, and also a portrait of India before it was changed by liberalization. In the early 1980s, researching for his bestselling novel Taj, author Timeri?Tim?Murari began the first of his journeys in the footsteps of Arjumand Bano, the precocious daughter of a Mughal nobleman.
