Описание: Fiction. Womens Studies. Finalist for the 2020 International Book Awards for Multicultural Fiction. In 1858, the British took over the city of Lucknow, paving the way for Queen Victorias reign over India. But what happened to Begam Hazrat Mahal, the woman of African-Indian descent who had valiantly organized a final key resistance to British rule, and to her ex-husband, Wajid Ali Shah, the last King in India, who remained imprisoned by the British? THE ENVY OF PARADISE tells their stories.

Jocelyn Cullitys English family lived in India for five generations. A sequel to the award-winning Amah & the Silk-Winged Pigeons, her second novel about the takeover of India by Britain is an exquisitely told tale of 19th-century India--a deep rendering of the moment that India as a country was colonized; a brilliant illustration of Hazrat Mahals fearless character and the depths of betrayal the last King in India faced.
