Synopsis
The love story of Emperor Jahangir and Mehrunnisa, begun in the critically praised debut novel The Twentieth Wife, continues in Indu Sundaresan's lush second novel, The Feast of Roses. Here, Mehrunnisa comes into Jahangir's harem as his twentieth and last wife. This time Jahangir has married for love, and members of his court are worried that Mehrunnisa could exert control over their futures. Their concerns are well founded.
Mehrunnisa soon becomes the most powerful woman in the Mughal Empire in spite of a formidable rival in the imperial harem who has schemed and plotted against her from the start. She rules from behind the veil, securing her status by forming a junta of sorts with her father, brother, and stepson -- and risking it all, even her daughter, to get what she wants. But she never loses the love of the man who bestows this power upon her....

Reviews
I read this book after reading the 20th wife, the 20th wife I enjoyed very much. Both these books are historical in nature, however, I preferred the 20th wife as there was more 'story' involved. This book Feast of Roses was more factual and doesn't have the large fictional aspect. I found I still enjoyed the book, but I would have prefered more characther and story development.
