Helpful Score: 2
Read this book with my Book Club and it was a refreashing change. A very interesting (fictional) read of the Emperor of India (then Hindustan) and his family, and the building of the Taj Mahal around 1632. The story is told through the Emperor's favorite daughter, Princess Jahanara, from young girl to old woman. Strong female lead character. The subtitle of this book is "A Love Story" and there are many stories of love in the narrative. Couple of scenes got me emotional as they were so tenderly written. Good story telling and you really get involved with (and root) for the characters. Scenes are well told and you get a good feeling about what it was like to live during that time period.
Gave it 4 1/2 stars.
