Here's what I wrote in 2008 about this read: "MGA recalls reading several novels like this, which bring to life the recent history of India (previous to English occupation, the Raj, and coming out into modern day India and Pakistan). Fastinating and educational." ( ) This novel chronicles the life of Jaya, an Indian princess traditionally raised in a time of change and upheaval. Jaya is born in the 1890s, when British rule in India is well-established, and during her lifetime, Jaya sees this authority challenged and crumble. Jaya tests her own strength, as she experiences a loveless marriage and the struggles of motherhood, but also when she becomes the regent of an Indian kingdom after her husband's death. Raj is an interesting portrait of Indian royalty during the struggle for independence and the collapse of the British empire. Raj is a (fictional) tale of princess of Balmer, and later regent Maharani of Sirpur, trying to save her kingdom first from the grasps of British empire, and then from the "reformists". "Raj" holds the promise of a great novel in first few chapters. It has a really interesting plot and characters. It talks about an interesting time of power struggles. But, it somewhere falls behind in creativity. The novel gets slow and repetitive at times, describing similar events and feelings. Overall, it does just ok, decent for one time read.

Die Geschichte Jayas, die eines fernen Tages als mündige Frau die Regierungsgeschäfte ihres Vaters, des Maharadschas von Balmer, üernehmen wird, spiegelt zugleich in leuchtenden Farben die Epoche des Umbruchs in Indien seit 1900. SW: Indien Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
