Recommendation:
- A Far Horizon is a gripping historical saga that masterfully blends fact and fiction, whisking readers away to 18th-century Calcutta. Meira Chand's rich storytelling and vividly drawn characters bring to life the religious cult surrounding the young Sati, and the tense political climate between the British and the nawab. The harrowing night spent by British prisoners in the Black Hole of Calcutta becomes a haunting legend that justifies the British empire's colonization of India. If you're a fan of historical fiction that immerses you in a captivating world, this is a book you won't want to miss.
