Tagore: A Novel
Tagore: A Novel is a sweeping historical romance that follows Shah Jahan and his queen Arjumand Banu, the Chosen One of the Palace, and the vow that becomes the Taj Mahal. Set in seventeenth‑century India, this tale invites history lovers and romance fans alike to lose themselves in devotion, ambition, and the costs of greatness.
Told through three intimate voices—Arjumand, the emperor himself, and Isa the eunuch—the narrative moves between palace splendor and the demanding world of construction, where twenty thousand workers labor under the emperor’s gaze and Murthi, a skilled Hindu craftsman, carves the exquisite jali around Arjumand’s sarcophagus. The book weaves together the passion of a storied romance with a vivid portrait of a dynasty at the height of its power, revealing both opulence and hardship in a richly drawn tapestry of seventeenth‑century India.
This is more than a love story. Tagore: A Novel explores political intrigue and the fierce rivalries surrounding the Peacock Throne, the delicate balance between different faiths, and the human costs behind one of history’s most iconic monuments. With lush, cinematic prose and a pacing that sweeps from intimate moments to grand public pageants, the narrative invites readers to feel the heartbeat of an era as it illuminates the creative flame that gave birth to the Taj Mahal.
- Interwoven narratives from Arjumand, Shah Jahan, and Isa—their voices illuminate love, loyalty, and longing
- Rich historical backdrop: court life, politics, religious tensions, and the monumental building of a world‑famous mausoleum
- Murthi’s artistry and the cultural tapestry of seventeenth‑century India
- Lyrical, immersive prose with cinematic pacing
- Insight into themes of devotion, ambition, and the cost of greatness
Tagore: A Novel invites readers to carry a sense of wonder beyond the final page, feeling inspired by extraordinary love and the lasting legacy of art. After finishing this rich tale, you’ll see history as a living story—one that can lift the ordinary into the realm of the extraordinary.
