  Indian Summers - A Very Interesting Read!

  The book is described as the secret history of the end of an empire. This is the first book by Alex Von Tunzelmann, a thirty year old Oxford historian. The story revolves around London and Delhi with the magnificent Buckingham Palace and Birla House as the major setting for this story. It revolves around the intimate love story of Jawarharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten and their eventual separation. To know more about the most talked about love story in the history of Indian Independence, I highly recommend this book. The political inclination which laces the story is certainly worth much more than a one time read. . Do read this book by the oxford historian to get the real picture.
