The Twentieth Wife: A Novel Indu Sundaresan
Publisher: Washington Square Press

The Fountain Square Library will host a discussion of The Shoemaker's Wife, by Adriana Trigiani, on Thursday, April 11th at 1:30 p.m.. The second book, The Shadow Princess, I liked less. Literature, as with all Buck's empathic portrayal of a struggling farmer and his wife influenced Americans to accept the Chinese as their allies in the looming World War. In the first book Mehrunnisa is the main character and she is portrayed as a strong woman who does what is right and who ends up with vast powers through India. Bharti Kirchner has written a series of novels, including Shiva Dancing, Darjeeling, and Pastries. I had really enjoyed Sundaresan's first in this series, The Twentieth Wife, about Nur Jahan, the twentieth wife and the love of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. She was also the aunt of the Empress Mumtaz Mahal for whom Jahangir built the Taj Mahal. The Twentieth wife by Indu Sundaresan is a historical fiction set in the backdrop of the Mughal Empite. Here, in the first novel of Conrad Richter's Awakening Land trilogy, the Lucketts, a wild, woods-faring family, lived their roaming life, pushing ever westward as the frontier advanced and as new settlements threatened their isolation. 50 Must-Read Novels from the 20th Century.
