Summary
Shortlisted for the Epic Novel award in the Romantic Novelists Association Books Awards.
Spanning four generations, The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley sweeps from the glittering palaces of the great maharajas of India to the majestic stately homes of England, following the extraordinary life of a girl, Anahita Chavan, from 1911 to the present day....
A lifelong passion. An endless search.
In the heyday of the British Raj, 11-year-old Anahita, from a noble but impoverished family, forms a lifelong friendship with the headstrong Princess Indira, the privileged daughter of rich Indian royalty. Becoming the princess's official companion, Anahita accompanies her friend to England just before the outbreak of the Great War. There, she meets the young Donald Astbury - reluctant heir to the magnificent, remote Astbury Estate - and his scheming mother.
Eighty years later, Rebecca Bradley, a young American film star, has the world at her feet. But when her turbulent relationship with her equally famous boyfriend takes an unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a 1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to the wilds of Dartmoor in England. Shortly after filming begins at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest for his family's past. What he and Rebecca discover begins to unravel the dark secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty....

Simply addictive
I enjoyed this so much and didn’t want it to end. The narrator was brilliant, dealing with different accents in her stride. Loved it.

A beautifully story performed to perfection
Five stars is an understatement! Intriguing and immersive storytelling coupled with a faultless performance - an absolute treature. Will definitely buy more Lucinda Riley and Aysha Khan

Twists and turns
Absolutely loved this book. Annahita is a wonderful character and the switch between modern day and times past were seemless.

Totally engrossing!
Great story - a little unbelievable towards the end but I so enjoyed most of it that I still think it’s worth 5 stars. In many ways this beats the Seven Sisters series. Great narration too.
