Delhi is a ferocious metropolis—a city of jungles along highways, decaying mansions, and secret love. Epochs change: in the impoverished family of ancient maharajas, tyrants and victims coexist; branches of the family tree get tangled. In the dreamy sixties, the restless eighties, and after the millennium, daughters of an old lineage lead double lives, walking the line between piety and the capital’s darker side. Their fates intertwine with Delhi legends.
Natalya Solovyova, writer:
“Through the history of one family, you immerse yourself in the history of India—rituals, traditions that we know only a little about from Indian films seen in childhood. But ‘The Stolen City’ is still different. Deeper, more vivid, more realistic. The way a REAL NOVEL should be.”
