Wicked Women of the Raj - Coralie Younger : A review

Very Interesting book.

Coralie younger has given us true stories of White women who married Indian princes. Unfortunately it was the 19th and early 20th century and soceity was not ready for mixed race marriages. Money could never completely mask the lonliness that these women and their spuses faced.Great read.
