A bold, epic, historical romance set in northern England during Queen Victoria's early reign, The Amethyst is filled with love and duplicity, unforgettable characters and great adventure.
Young Anisia, following the sudden death of her beloved father, Lord William Argyle and a deceiving betrayal by her bitterly jealous cousin, takes us on a perilous journey to exotic, mystifying India on the invitation of a young, Anglo-Indian nobleman. Teeming with evocative sensuality and vibrant period detail, characters seamlessly weave into a sweeping tapestry, mesmerizing readers with the lush and lavish lives of English nobility in Britain, and the British sahibs and memsahibs in 19th century India. From marketplaces filled with snake charmers, dancers and beggars, Anisia takes us on an arduous trek from Bombay's searing heat to the cooler hill stations nestled below the Himalayas, where rigid English mores are scintillatingly abandoned. Fascinating and engrossing, The Amethyst travels from rugged England to India, the land of vanishing supremacies, the Kama Sutra and unashamed desires, where lush gardens peal with the haunting cries of peacocks, and deadly snakes slither underfoot.
