Description
Charlotte Betts' The Palace of Lost Dreams is a sumptuously evocative story set in 18th century India. Beatrice Sinclair, a young widow facing financial destitution, travels to Hyderabad to visit her brother and discovers he has married an Indian girl and lives with his wife's extended family in the dilapidated Jahanara Mahal palace. As an outsider in this unfamiliar world, Bee faces many challenges, including building a new life after heartbreak. The French and British forces are locked in a battle over India's riches, adding to the complexity of her situation. Meanwhile, she must navigate her feelings for the dashing Harry Wyndam, a maverick ex-soldier with secrets of his own. With rebellion in the air, Bee must decide where her loyalties lie and find a way to forge a new path in this treacherous world.
