The Empress
Tanika Gupta
It is the Jubilee! Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. At
Tilbury Docks, Rani and Abdul step ashore after the long voyage from
India. One has to battle a society who deems her a second class citizen,
the other forges an astonishing entanglement with the ageing Queen who
finds herself enchanted by stories of an India she rules but has never
seen.
The Empress
uncovers remarkable unknown stories of 19th century Britain, the growth
of Indian nationalism and the romantic proclivities of one of our most
surprising monarchs.
