About the book: 2021 / 1930, the times of British colonial rule in India. After the death of her husband, Eliza decides to devote herself to her career. The young widow is a talented photographer, and when she is offered to go to India for a year to capture scenes from the life of the ruling dynasty in one of the principalities, she readily grabs this opportunity to prove herself. Eliza has no idea how dramatically the trip will change her destiny. And how difficult this fate will turn out to be. India is full of contrasts and contradictions, many things here cause delight, many things terrify. Class inequality and centuries-old traditions, public opinion and palace intrigues... It seems that all circumstances are against Eliza and the man she is about to love being together. For the first time in Russian!
