From the Inside Flap:
"An amazing literary feat and a masterpiece of storytelling. Once again, Bharati Mukherjee prove
she is one of our foremost writers, with the literary muscles to weave both the future and the past into a tale that is singularly intelligent and provocative."
--AMY TAN
This is the remarkable story of Hannah Easton, a unique woman born in the American colonies in 1670, "a person undreamed of in Puritan society." Inquisitive, vital and awake to her own possibilities, Hannah travels to Mughal, India, with her husband, and English trader. There, she sets her own course, "translating" herself into the Salem Bibi, the white lover of a Hindu raja.
It is also the story of Beigh Masters, born in New England in the mid-twentieth century, an "asset hunter" who stumbles on the scattered record of her distant relative's life while tracking a legendary diamond. As Beigh pieces together details of Hannah's journeys, she finds herself drawn into the most intimate and spellbinding fabric of that remote life, confirming her belief that with "sufficient passion and intelligence, we can decontrsuct the barriers of time and geography...."

Bharati Mukherjee is a professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A novel about the meeting of 2 cultures, the Puritan New England and the Mughal Indian, in the stories of 17th century Hannah Easton and 20th century Beigh Masters. "If it seems implausible, without the scaffolding of the whole tale, that a Puritan girl from Salem--still less a devout one--should, as a woman, become the concupiscent lover of a Gentoo prince, I can only say that Ms. Mukherjee knows how to make it work.The truth is in the details, brilliantly conceived, finely written, sustained from the first to the last page." Anthony Appiah, New York Times Book Review, 10/10/1993. Seller Inventory # 001730
