Title : The Curse of Satapur - Sujata Massey - Book
Summary :
“A gem. Historical mystery at its best.” New York Journal of Books
India, 1922.
Perveen Mistry has joined her father's law firm, becoming the first female lawyer in India. This status is not without controversy, given that only men are allowed to plead in court. But when a curse appears to befall the royal family of Satapur, a small princely state practicing purdah (strict separation of women and men), she is the only one who can lead the investigation.
The Maharajah and his eldest son died abruptly, one after the other, under strange circumstances. As the Dowager Maharani and her daughter-in-law vie for control of the young crown prince, Perveen finds herself at the center of dangerous power struggles. Between ancient jealousies and deadly vendettas, will she be able to protect the royal children? A captivating mystery that takes us to early 20th-century India and sheds light on the role of women there.
