About The Book
In this evocative novel, The Last Queen, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni paints the life of Jindan Kaur, the fearless and formidable queen who defied the British Empire in 19th-century India. Born the daughter of the royal kennel keeper, Jindan’s beauty, sharp mind, and fiery passion led her to become the youngest and last queen of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. When her young son, Dalip, unexpectedly inherits the throne, Jindan’s role as regent becomes crucial in protecting her son's legacy.
A determined and stubborn woman, Jindan fought with everything she had to protect Punjab from British annexation. Her strength and influence were such that she was eventually imprisoned and exiled by the British, but her spirit remained unbroken. This powerful narrative weaves together an exquisite love story between a king and a commoner, a cautionary tale of loyalty and betrayal, and a moving parable of the indestructible bond between mother and child.
Divakaruni’s exceptional storytelling shines as she brings to life one of the most courageous and inspirational women in history. The Last Queen is an unforgettable journey into the life of a queen whose legacy has often been overlooked, but whose fierce spirit continues to inspire generations.
