Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley, The Midnight Rose spans four generations and sweeps from the glittering palaces of the great maharajas of India to the majestic stately homes of England, following the extraordinary life of a girl, Anahita Chavan, from 1911 to the present day . . .
Read by Aysha Kala (The Appeal, The God of Small Things)
'A captivating read from Lucinda Riley. Ideal for a book club' – Daily Mail
A lifelong passion. An endless search.
At the height of the British Raj, eleven-year-old Anahita, from a noble but impoverished family, forms a lifelong friendship with the headstrong Princess Indira, the privileged daughter of rich Indian royalty. Becoming the princess's official companion, Anahita accompanies her friend to England just before the outbreak of the Great War. There, she meets the young Donald Astbury – reluctant heir to the magnificent, remote Astbury Estate – and his scheming mother.
Eighty years later, Rebecca Bradley, a young American film star, has the world at her feet. But when her turbulent relationship with her equally famous boyfriend takes an unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a 1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to the wilds of Dartmoor in England. Shortly after filming begins at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest for his family's past. What he and Rebecca discover begins to unravel the dark secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty . . .

Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas she has no recollection of her past association with it – the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here.

Enchanting
Loved the way we were shown how the past influences the present, something we don’t have access to so much in our every day lives. The author Lucinda Riley was particularly good at this.
I enjoy books with ties to India, & the glimpse of how things were done in the past there. Lovely ending.
The narrator was absolutely fantastic, wish I could’ve given her six stars! As we all know, a narrator can make or break an audiobook.
The characters were well thought out and brought to life with so much compassion for each of them (other than the one that was truly odious - there are truly evil people in the world). There were no shallow characters that were just assigned roles “good guy” or “bad guy”. It was just everyone doing the best they could with what they had at the time.
I do like Lucinda Riley so much, I have read almost everything she wrote.

An incredibly impelling story
If this hasn’t been made a movie yet, I can only hope it will be. I was completely immersed in this incredible story.
