4.0 out of 5 stars
novel of India,
By Lilly "navehil" (RAMAT HASHARON ISRAEL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mistaken Identity (Hardcover)
This novel is set in India in the 1920's.It relates the tale of a minor Maharaja's son who is arrested for subversive activity, mistakenly, hence the title. The periods of his life as a wealthy wastrel, his family history, his imprisonment and the tales of his fellow prisoners are the core of this well written novel.The narrative succeeds in conveying a chunk of Indian history and culture. Besides being a good read with a surprise ending it contributes to understanding a part of the vast mosaic that is India. The book is highly recommended especially those who are interested in learning about India as well
