Indian princess's quest for freedom amidst luxury.

If you've ever felt that golden cages are still cages, Jahanara's story will speak to you. The paradox of her life, immersed in wealth yet restrained by duty and tradition, mirrors challenges many face today. Kathryn Lasky doesn't just provide a glimpse into historical India; she offers a tale of seeking self-determination within the strictures of royal life.

Description

In the 1600s, the Mughal emperors of India were among the greatest rulers of the East. Jahanara is the daughter of one of these ultra-rich and powerful figures, Shah Jahan The Magnificent. The oldest and favorite of his children, she is showered with emeralds, diamonds, and rubies, and is attended by numerous servants and learned tutors. Yet, her world is not one of pure contentment. It is rife with intrigue and turmoil as her father fights for his rights to rule - and she struggles against the confinement her Muslim religion dictates. Jahanara's diary allows readers to witness the exotic splendor and unforgettable drama of this past great dynasty.
