Description

A moving and muted account of a life in a transitional generation where East and West met…touching and strange, this memoir gives fine glimpses into the Hindu culture, of worlds apart moving together, not without grief.

REVIEWS

An unusual biography. A fantastic kind of life. It can hardly fail to hold your interest.

-The New Yorker

Thoroughly enjoyable and never dull. Brinda comes to life on each page in a manner seldom found in a story of a contemporary being. Elaine Williams deserves credit for an excellent job of writing. She has retained in every chapter a wealth of the maharani’s charm and personality.
