On August 15, 1947, the British Empire withdrew from India, giving freedom to the country and making it a new free-society. Indian Summer: The Secret History Of The End Of An Empire covers the most prominent figures such as Dickie Mountbatten, the dashing last Viceroy of Britain, his wife Edwina, who found love in the then India’s Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Muslim leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and Mohandas Gandhi. It chronicles the events during the end of the British Empire and the partition of the Indian subcontinent. Besides the great clash of communities, religions and ideas, Indian independence was a coaction between these five powerful individuals.

Indian Summer: The Secret History Of The End Of An Empire weaves an extraordinary saga of history, romance, religion and political intrigue. It especially places the behaviour and feelings of key players at the centre of a fierce moment in the history. The first edition of the book was published by Picador in 2008 and is available in paperback.
