Nothing short of a 5/5 to this legendary story, a proper story from start to finish written without any rush, doing a full justice to the particular time and space. There are multiple novels written into this panoramic mega novel. I had the option of watching an adaption on Youtube, reading the novel of listening to an audio version. I went for the audio version and never regretted the experience. I loved Kaye's attention to detail, whether depicting the inside and intrigues of a place life or the cantonment atmosphere. As English, I didn't doubt her expertise on the cantonment life but was amazed about her insight into the Indian court life of the time, of which there is little written anywhere.
For me this novel has raised questions about my own identity, and invoked a strong desire to discover my own kingdom. I am also filled with hope and imbued with a strong notion of striving in good faith. the main positive theme of this magnificent story is constant striving and hoping for the best.
