A compelling East-West adventure takes us from the Temple of the Moon on the remote coast of Gujarat, India, to an Anglo-Indian mansion on the Yorkshire moors. A sumptuous saga with an exciting cliff-hanger ending -- Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse
Author Bio
Why is the relationship between the British and India so enduring? Yorkshireman Tony Wild explored the subcontinent as a young man, and started to answer that question with his popular histories for HarperCollins - The East India Company: Trade and Conquest from 1600 (1999) and Remains of the Raj (2001), nominated Jan Morris' Book of the Year. A one-time actor, filmmaker and screenwriter, this collaboration is his first novel. Diana De Gunzburg was born in Pakistan and is Anglo-Russian-Afghan. Her great-grandfather was the last person to be publicly hanged for insurgency by the British in the North West Frontier of Pakistan, where her father still farms his estate. Diana was brought up between the North West Frontier and her mother's native Yorkshire. By the age of seventeen she had already made the 6,000 mile journey overland between the two countries three times. She has recently published articles about her family history in Alef magazine and Afghan Scene. She lives with her husband and teenage daughter in Paris where she teaches yoga. This is her first book.
