Thalassa Ali

The second installment of the trilogy whose main character is Mariana Givens, a young woman who traveled to India to live with her aunt and uncle in order to find a suitable English husband.

Two years after returning from the fortified city of Lahore, Mariana cannot forget the smell of roses, nor the ill-fated marriage that caused her to be ostracized from English society. Aware that she must give up Sabur – the wonderful boy whom she saved by putting her own life in danger, and ask for a divorce from Hasan Ali Khan, she returns to Lahore. But how to leave the enigmatic man whose love defied two cultures, and the child she loved as her own? When political and civil conflicts threaten to escalate into violence, Mariana searches for answers in a world no Englishwoman has ever seen... The second part of the beautiful trilogy about Victorian India will leave you breathless!
