Acerca de esta escucha
Despite the rivalry of the imperial harem, which has plotted against her from the beginning, Mehrunnisa soon becomes the most powerful woman in the Mughal Empire. She rules from behind the veil, securing her status by forming a junta of sorts with her father, brother, and stepson and by risking all, even her daughter, to get what she wants. But she never loses the love of the man who has bestowed this power upon her.

According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness—is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient.

Historia
The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

From the New York Times best-selling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written book, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before - not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Weaving another rich historical tapestry...Sundaresan colors the life of a fascinating woman whose female wiles inspired the Taj Mahal." (Booklist)
"The novel's scope and ambition are impressive, as are the numerous period details....Readers who enjoyed the first volume will find similar pleasures tracking the fate of one of history's most intriguing women." (Publishers Weekly)
"Sundaresan's love of storytelling is apparent in this well-researched historical romance. She makes sure that the reader stays enthralled from chapter to chapter and, with this sequel, will surely do the same in creating anticipation for her next book." (Library Journal)
Featured Article: The Best Indian Authors to Listen to Right Now
"India," to quote actress and human rights activist Shabana Azmi, "is a country that lives in several centuries simultaneously." Just as those different time periods seem to coexist in one place, so do the voices of brilliant literary talents. Each of these writers and their works have contributed to help the world better understand this expansive country and its beautiful, multifaceted culture, whether it be from within India’s own borders or through the memory of its customs and traditions from distant continents.

Wonderfully Written. A Journey through India’s historical Royal Court.
This sequel to The Twentieth Wife is full of factual content in the life and abiding love of an Emperor and his Twentieth Empress.
Full of heartbreak, betrayals, greed and the machinations among his harem, heirs, family, friends and the Nobility in is his court.
I had to concentrate to follow but well worth it.
The narrator’s performance was Great!

ENJOYABLE
I read book number one and really liked it.
I had high expectations of this book, and in my opinion it started slow. Glad I stuck with it. Overall it is an interesting book about an important part of India’s history, which I am interested in.
The author and the narrator are both excellent.
I do recommend listening.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

JUST WOW
I was born and raised in Iran .The fact that TAJ MAHAL was built in honor of a Persian princess was something to discuss and it was interesting to know the story.
I read both books “THE TWENTIETH WIFE “ and of course this book and enjoyed both very much .
I made a very strong connection with the characters and admired MEHR OL NESA . Such a strong woman such an amazing willpower. Couldn’t help the tears at the ending. Enjoyed every bit of narration, amazing talent awesome consistent tone . Learned a lot and looking forward to other amazing reads from the author.
