BOOKS BY NANDINI

An epic family saga of war, love, friendship, and sacrifice in twentieth-century India during its fight against British rule.

 

It is 1898. India is ruled by the British, and India's women are ruled by British masters as well as Indian men. A desperate young widow is drawn into a terrible deed to save herself from dishonor, but her family will pay dearly for this Faustian bargain.

 

Only extraordinary atonements and strange liaisons in politics and love can help her descendants heal from this traumatic private history. So, though there's NOTHING the widow's daughter, Lady Prem Mitter—unhappy wife of Indian baronet Sir Mitter in Calcutta in the 1920s—won't do to protect her own son and the abandoned daughter of her dead childhood friend, when she's asked to step in to protect also the child of an Englishwoman with a mysterious connection to her husband, can she cope?

 

Love's Garden demonstrates the strength, resilience, and unbreakable spirit of mothers and daughters navigating layers of oppression, all while the sun is not-so-peacefully setting on British India.
