Awesome, stunning, panoramic, exciting: these are some of the words that come to mind to describe \"Raj Legends of Lady Edna,\" a fictionalized description of the last days of the British rule in India. Told from the point of view of the brilliant, beautiful, modern, liberated Lady Edna, wife of the assistant to Lord \"Mount,\" the Viceroy of India, this ambitious novel by author Damodar Sharma introduces the reader to every level of Indian life, from the saintly Gandhi to the erotic carvings on the Temple of Puri, from the magnificent Viceregal Palace to the huts of the Untouchables. Sometimes sophisticated, often erotic, this book is like a train ride through the mind and heart of this great and diverse nation. Giving Edna\'s beauty its due, the real heroine of this stately novel is India, which was truly the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. The dust jacket is a little worn along the top and bottom edges, discoloured with age, and has two small dot stickers on the spine which we have been unable to remove. The book itself, however, is as new.
