Shortlisted for the Epic Novel award in the Romantic Novelists
Association Books Awards. Spanning four generations, The Midnight
Rose by Lucinda Riley sweeps from the glittering palaces of the
great maharajas of India to the majestic stately homes of England,
following the extraordinary life of a girl, Anahita Chavan, from
1911 to the present day . . . A lifelong passion. An endless
search. In the heyday of the British Raj, eleven-year-old Anahita,
from a noble but impoverished family, forms a lifelong friendship
with the headstrong Princess Indira, the privileged daughter of
rich Indian royalty. Becoming the princess's official companion,
Anahita accompanies her friend to England just before the outbreak
of the Great War. There, she meets the young Donald Astbury -
reluctant heir to the magnificent, remote Astbury Estate - and his
scheming mother. Eighty years later, Rebecca Bradley, a young
American film star, has the world at her feet. But when her
turbulent relationship with her equally famous boyfriend takes an
unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a
1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to
the wilds of Dartmoor in England. Shortly after filming begins at
the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's
great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest for his family's
past. What he and Rebecca discover begins to unravel the dark
secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty . . . 'A captivating read
from Lucinda Riley. Ideal for a book club' - Daily Mail/Femail
