Shadow of the Moon with Amrita (Creator of Amrita by the Book, Co-Host of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast)


Listen Later

Guys, we've made it to our first truly problematic favorite book. And I relish discussions like this, because let's face it, every book is problematic in its own way, even your all time favorites. But M.M. Kaye's SHADOW OF THE MOON might just take the cake. Romanticizing the British empire in India? Yikes. But Amrita points out the nuance, detailed writing, and interesting characterizations of this book. We also chat about multiple perspectives in history, the fascinating life of M.M. Kaye, whether you can write a book like this nowadays (probably not), and so much more. Amrita provides a wealth of information that I never could, so you don't want to miss this discussion.
