The reluctant vicereine was a rebel, a rule breaker.It was never going to be easy working for her. She was a troubled old soul, a great beauty, a firecracker. But there was more to Edwina than met the eye. The glamour was a façade. Behind it was a highly intelligent woman of influence and power. They would always say that ought not to have been. But it was and the greatest of all Edwina's friends was Jawahar.No one could have imagined the maelstrom of intrigue, events and relationships that would change their lives and those of millions of Indians forever.
