Description

The Elephant Keeper's Daughter by Julia Drosten is a captivating novel set in 19th-century Ceylon. Born into a royal family, Phera is raised as a boy to ensure the line of succession, but she grows into a confident and fiercely independent woman.

As she navigates her complicated identity, Phera forms a deep bond with her elephant companion, Siddhi, and must confront the harsh realities of her world when British colonists invade. With thoughts of revenge and an unexpected romance with a kindly British physician, Phera faces a choice that will determine the course of her life.

This poignant coming-of-age story explores themes of identity, family, love, and forgiveness in the face of violence and oppression. A gripping tale of self-discovery and survival, The Elephant Keeper's Daughter is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction and romance.
