About this ebook
An international bestseller and winner of the 1981 Georgette Heyer Historical Novel Prize, Zemindar is a magnificent, twisting love story, all unfolding against the tempestuous backdrop of the Indian Rebellion.
Englishwoman Laura Hewitt accompanies her newly engaged cousin to India, first to Calcutta and then to the fabled fiefdom of Oliver Erskine, Zemindar – or hereditary ruler – of a private kingdom with its own army. But India is on the verge of the Mutiny, which will sweep them all up in its chaos...
Praise for Zemindar:
'If you loved The Far Pavilions – and who didn't – this will be your dish too' Cosmopolitan
'Utterly addictive' Washington Post

Not as great as the reviews would have you believe ! The authors irritating use of tediously long vocabulary ( i consider myself well versed in the english language) made the storyline very distracting at times, dragged on in parts.....a good story but not great....Tanemara by noel barber fabulous if u need a five star read or even paullina simmons with her trilogy of the bronze horseman....sorry but this book just didnt cut it for me !
