She was Munni, she was Dilaram, and then she became Begum Samru. A meteoric rise, from a mere nautch-girl to an empress of Delhi. A saga of passion, intrigues and courage which thrills and enthralls. But it is a real character, a character from history, will all the ingredients of a Shakespearean tragedy. An eminently readable novel by a master craftsman who grew into a legend.
