A very well-written memoir. Maharani Gayatri Devi's life was a life of extremes. She was born into a world of privilege, grew up in the lap of luxury, sheltered in her youth and yet, in her later years, rose magnificently to the physical and emotional challenge thrown at her during the dark days of the Emergency. Her love for her country and her people shines through these pages. Reading this book made me feel like I have time-travelled through those tumultuous days. A long lost world. A long lost breed of people, who believed in doing what's morally correct, not what is convenient and most profitable. Not a fast read, by any means. But worth it to get a glimpse into an uncommon life well lived.
