Query: Captivating

If asked to describe The Twentieth Wife in one word, I would choose captivating. This novel relays actual historic events of the Mughal Empire circa 1601 through fictional storytelling. The reader gets history, romance, and strong social commentary on a woman's role all in one. I finished this novel of about 400 pages in two days because it involves its reader and I couldn't put it down. An excellent novel with equally excellent themes about the power behind the veil.
