Against scenes of unimaginable wealth and power, there were murderous sibling rivalries and cruel despotism. In Beneath a Marble Sky, Princess Jahanara tells the story of how the Taj Mahal came to be, and describes her own life as an agent in its creation and as a witness to the fateful events surrounding its completion. As a princess and a mother, a sister and a daughter, Jaharana faces impossible choices and discovers the real meaning of her regal birthright. 541 $d 20240103. 600 $a Mumtaz Mahal, $c Empress, consort of Shahjahan, Emperor of India, $d -1631 $v Fiction. 600 $a Shahjahan, $c Emperor of India, $d approximately 1592-1666 $v Fiction. 600 1 $a Jahanara, Begum, $d 1614-1680 $v Fiction. 650 $a Memorials $x Design and construction $v Fiction. 650 $a Taj Mahal (Agra, India) $v Fiction. 650 $a Love stories. 651 $a India $x History $y 1526-1765 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240502014704.0 952 $l AIPC937 $d 20240319011225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16101FBAE5B611EE96AABEA640ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
