The Mirror of Beauty

Trama

It is the sunset of the Mughal Empire. The splendour of imperial Delhi flares one last time. The young daughter of a craftsman in the city elopes with an officer of the East India Company. But it is not just one life that this novel sets out to capture: it paints in rapturous detail an entire civilization.
