Publisher's Summary
From the author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley, The Midnight Rose spans four generations and sweeps from the glittering palaces of the great maharajas of India to the majestic stately homes of England, following the extraordinary life of a girl, Anahita Chavan, from 1911 to the present day . . .
Read by Aysha Kala (The Appeal, The God of Small Things)
'A captivating read from Lucinda Riley. Ideal for a book club' – Daily Mail
A lifelong passion. An endless search.
At the height of the British Raj, eleven-year-old Anahita, from a noble but impoverished family, forms a lifelong friendship with the headstrong Princess Indira, the privileged daughter of rich Indian royalty. Becoming the princess's official companion, Anahita accompanies her friend to England just before the outbreak of the Great War. There, she meets the young Donald Astbury – reluctant heir to the magnificent, remote Astbury Estate – and his scheming mother.
Eighty years later, Rebecca Bradley, a young American film star, has the world at her feet. But when her turbulent relationship with her equally famous boyfriend takes an unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a 1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to the wilds of Dartmoor in England. Shortly after filming begins at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest for his family's past. What he and Rebecca discover begins to unravel the dark secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty . . .

Exceptional
I’m overwhelmed by the story writing of Lucinda. She has the ability to hook me in quickly and slowly unveil her plot. The twists and turns are captivating. Once again I am catapulted into another world and another time all at once.
The raw emotion I feel whilst engaging in the books of Lucinda Riley is nothing short of exceptional.
This story was no different and I especially enjoyed the way Lucinda wrapped up the story without leaving the reader hanging about the characters in the future, there were no gaps.
I thoroughly enjoy Lucinda’s writing style and the narrator was a joy to listen to…
Very impressed… very well done.
I highly recommend the book
