Novel "A Sahib's Daughter" by Nina Harkness Launched in Paperback on Amazon

Naples, FL, May 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Popular Novel “A Sahib’s Daughter” by Nina Harkness is Now in Print, Available though Amazon

Forbidden love finds expression within the confines of a unique social order: “A Sahib’s Daughter,” a novel by Nina Harkness takes readers on an intriguing journey as three generations of women grapple with secrets, scandal and undeniable passions of the heart, during the post-Raj Indian era. Released in 2012 to much acclaim, “A Sahib’s Daughter” is now in print, available through Amazon and Amazon Kindle Direct:

With a creative balance of fiction and historical accuracy, Harkness draws on childhood memories of growing up in the privileged post-colonial traditions of India’s tea plantation society to create a story with unexpected depth. The tale of “A Sahib’s Daughter” unfolds through vivid imagery as she skillfully develops the book’s main characters: A grandmother named Prava, her daughter, Ramona, and granddaughter, Samira, each whose fate is transformed through encounters with British tea planters. However, encounters such as these pose a difficult question.

Bucking centuries of tradition, is it conceivable that new-era British sahibs would marry local Indian women? "In the past, certainly, they made promises and spoke fine words. They even gave a woman a good time, sometimes living with her for years and fathering several children,” Harkness writes.

Amidst the backdrop of aromatic tea plantations, love crosses racial boundaries with a richness and intensity that readers find hard to resist. Now in print, the book continues to receive strong, five-star reviews:

“[The book is] captivating from beginning to end. Its unpredictability made it very difficult to put down,” raves Jean Bricknell.

Another reader, B. Miller, writes, “[A Sahib’s Daughter] was full of suspense, intrigue, and romance, and I could barely put the book aside until I finished this amazing story.”

And Linda H. writes, “I couldn't put this book down! A Sahib’s Daughter will inspire you to pack your bags and embark on an exotic adventure through the [Dooars] of the Himalayan Mountains.”

But pursuit of love is only one theme that contributes to the novel’s complexity. More than a simple romance, each chapter touches upon the realities of Anglo-Indian culture, where having “mixed blood” truly shapes the color and course of one’s world. And in a final twist, one woman will never discover her true identity—a secret another will take to her grave.

Readers can purchase a paperback copy of “A Sahib’s Daughter” through Amazon.com SRP $13.99.
