The Feast of Roses : A Novel (Paperback)

from Smits

Such a rich story of India in the 16th century . A novel filled with details on the life and lavish lifestyle of Emperor Jahangir and his beloved wife Mehrunnisa. It is also their love story and a story of power behind the throne.

from bibliophile26

The continuation of The Twentieth Wife; in this story Mehrunnisa is married to the emperor of the Mughal Empire and tries to gain as much power as she can. Not quite as good as the first book. Mehrunnisa ruthlessness makes the reader dislike her at times.

from Nafiza

Indu Sundaresan's novels are composed with such skill and such exquisite detail that you can't help but be immersed in the rich world of the Mughals. She weaves a tapestry of love that cannot be denied, that refuses to be denied. A world of immense power and velvet lined cruelty. Her work is care...

from Jaguar897

Loved this even more the 2nd time around.

from skrishna

I enjoyed this book, but thought The Twentieth Wife was much better. Mehrunnisa became a bit of an unappealing character through the course of the book, and it seemed to drag in places.
