The Splendor of Silence
by Indu Sundaresan
read by Sneha Mathan
Unabridged
From internationally best-selling author Indu Sundaresan comes a heartrending tale of tragic love and clashing cultures in World War II India.
In 1942, Sam Hawthorne, a young U.S. Army captain, arrives in a tiny princely state in western India. He carries combat wounds and several secrets, one of which is the real reason behind his visit: to find his brother Mike, an idealistic American soldier who disappeared after joining the local struggle for independence from the British. But Sam's mission is soon threatened when he falls in love with Mila, daughter of the local political agent.
Betrothed to the local prince, Mila draws Sam into a doomed affair that places them both in the path of dynastic intrigue, racial prejudice, and the explosive circumstances of a country torn between imperialism and nationalism.
Review Quote
“Sundaresan renders Rudrakot vividly, and the sympathetic (if doomed) characters generate enough friction to keep the pot boiling.”—Publishers Weekly
Praise for the author
