Jahanara - princess of princesses

This book was about the enclosed yet eventful life of the emperor to be's first out of many daughters. In the time of Jahanara ( the emperors daughter, who is also known as princess of princesses) royalty is kept away from civilization, yet rivalry amoung the family is vivid. The emperors four wives all follow their own religion, and are being maipulated by the prior queen, who is said to be cursed. Jahanara is having problems understanding the "family war", and why her brother is taking after the prior queen "Nur Mahal" who had kidnapped him. She is unsure of who to trust and how to act, but she is certain that her mother will always support her choices in the matter.(Even though princesses' opinions were not considered crucial in the story)

BK,

I love your description of the story.

I wonder what it would it be like to live in the times of princesses and royal families?
