About this listen

The author of The Far Pavilions returns us once again to the vast, intoxicating romance of India under the British Raj. Shadow of the Moon is the story of Winter de Ballesteros, a beautiful English heiress come home to her beloved India. It is also the tale of Captain Alex Randall, her protector, who aches to possess her. Forged in the fires of a war that threatens to topple an empire, their tale is the saga of a desperate and unforgettable love that consumes all in its thrall. Filled with the mystery of moonlit palace gardens and the whisperings of passion and intrigue, M. M. Kaye evokes an era at once of its time, yet timeless.

Story is great, but unfortunately the reader sometimes lost het accent, went from sounding English to sounding Indian or vice versa when speaking as a specific character.

Overall a great read

I found the sentiments portrayed in the book to be racist and colonialist. My recommendation would be to leave this book alone and find books about India written by Indian authors rather than British colonizers.

Outdated and racist
