A PRINCESS REMEMBERS (PB)
In this enthralling autobiography, Maharani Gayatri Devi, the offspring of Cooch Behar's Maharaja and the esteemed widow of Jaipur's Maharaja, presents an exclusive window into the lavish realm of Indian nobility. Traversing the enchanting tapestry of her joyous youth spent within the gilded confines of a grand palace, to her clandestine romance with the charming polo virtuoso Jai—Jaipur's Maharaja—Devi’s narrative unfolds like an enchanting yarn. Her extraordinary odyssey encompasses being among the pioneering women to hold a seat in the Indian Parliament, all while earning accolades as one of the globe's most enchanting figures. With unguarded honesty and elegance, she shares her trials in acclimatizing to unfamiliar traditions and navigating life alongside her husband's two additional spouses in the famed 'pink city' of Jaipur. This remarkable memoir not only chronicles the existence of one of India's most refined and influential women but also unveils a captivating exploration of a vanished epoch characterized by regal grandeur and sweeping sociopolitical shifts.
