This is an excellent debut and I loved it.
Great style of writing that makes me feel sound/smell/colours of india, a strong willed and clever heroine, a dual timeline that works and never confused me.
Florence fascinated me as she's clever and well thought.
This is an excellent debut and I want to read other books by this author.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
