Description: Strasna avanturistička epska priča iz sedamnaestog veka, govori o najpoznatijoj i najkontroverznijoj carici – o ženi čiji su um i odlučnost pregazili brojne prepreke i čija je ljubav utrla put Mogulskog carstva.Došla je na svet godine 1577, praćena zavijanjem divlje zimske oluje, kao kći izgladnelog izbeglice, begunca od silovitih progona u Persiji. Njeno rođenje podstaklo je sudbonosni obrt porodične sreće, čiji je vrhunac bio prijem njenog oca na dvor cara Akbara. Ime joj je Mehrunisa, Sunce žena. Ovo je njena priča.Rastući na obodima dvorišta raskošnog dvora cara Akbara, Mehrunisa sazreva u dete safirnih očiju blagosloveno samouverenom inteligencijom, blistavom lepotom i moćnim ambicijama koje daleko prevazilaze položaj njene porodice. Mehrunisa upoznaje mladog princa Selima na dan njegovog venčanja. Istog trenutka, dok se dvorski sjaj još okreće oko nje slaveći prvi brak budućeg cara, Mehrunisa opaža stazu sopstvenog usuda. S neumoljivim samopouzdanjem odlučuje da će i sama jednog dana postati Selimova žena. Njoj je svega osam godina i ne naslućuje ogromnu cenu kojom će ona i njena porodica platiti njen san.Vešto kombinujući tkanje istorijske stvarnosti s bogatim i senzualnim maštarijama vanvremenske bajke, Dvadeseta supruga uznosi čitaoca u emotivne vrtloge burne ljubavi Selima i Mehrunise. U svom prvom romanu, Indu Sundaresan opisuje uzbudljivo putovanje svoje junakinje kroz vreme, od zlosrećnog prvog braka, kroz materinstvo, u opasni lavirint borbi za vlast i političkih mahinacija. Kroz sve to Mehrunisa i Selim vatreno žude za istinskom, iskupljujućom ljubavlju koju nisu upoznali – a njihova zajednička potraga na kraju odvodi i njih i ogromno carstvo kojem preti propast na mesta o kojima niko nije ni sanjao.Protkan čudima i napetošću, Dvadeseta supruga je u isto vreme portret žene koja iza vela gazi konvencije i opčinjujuće pripovedanje o zapanjujućoj moći ljubavi.
