Description
The Lake Palace by Ann Bennett is a historical novel set in British India during World War II. Iris Walker, a volunteer nurse, finds herself drawn to an enigmatic man named Edward Stark at a dinner party hosted by the maharajah. As they have only days together before Edward's departure on a special mission, their mutual attraction grows, but so do the challenges of war and its aftermath. In 1985, Iris returns to India for a holiday and revisits the now neglected Lake Palace, where memories from her past come flooding back. She embarks on a journey into the Naga Hills to uncover long-buried truths from the war years, forcing her to confront the complexities of her own life and the secrets she has kept hidden. A poignant and evocative tale of love, loss, and self-discovery, The Lake Palace is a powerful exploration of one woman's experiences during wartime.
