This is a book that will transport you across centuries and across continents.--The Seattle Times<br><br>With a somewhat blank canvas, Kirchner had the room to navigate the story to bring to life so many details and key events in India as it moved from being an independent country with its various territories, countless rulers and sub-cultures, towards the era of colonization. There's a lot to soak up in this adventurous historical drama!--M Ratledge, reviewer<br>
