Political reverberations were felt throughout the Raj and – as the kingdoms were about to disappear forever in the maelstrom of Indian Independence – as high as the British throne. How did it all come about?
Travelling through Melbourne, London, Mumbai Palanpur, Mt.

Suzanne Falkiner is the author of several fiction and non-fiction titles such as Rain in the Distance (1986) and Lizard Island: The Journey of Mary Watson (2001). She lives in Sydney.
