Beneath a Marble Sky: A Love Story |

by John

Reading this book is a
journey to seventeenth-century Hindustan. It's the story of the emperor who
commissions the building of the Taj Mahal as a testament to his love for his
deceased wife. Princess Jahanara, their courageous daughter, recounts their
mesmerizing tale, while sharing her own parallel tale of forbidden love with the
architect of the Taj Mahal. This well-crafted historical novel swept me away to
a Hindustan brimming with action and intrigue. This is a beautiful love story,
and so much more.
