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

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

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....
