This book tells us the story of Zeenat and the night that changed her life. The story also gives us a preview of the Mughal culture and their way of life. Summary of the Book On that fateful night, Zeenat was pushed into the Mughal emperor's harem so she could satisfy his lust. The story tells us a lot about Jahangir’s laziness and Shah Jahan’s rebellion. Zeenat’s life had changed forever that night. She goes from the harem of Jahangir to Shah Jahan’s golden age of architecture. She even visits Jahanara's boudoir. Her life is a dizzy string of events with both sad and happy moments. She is trapped in her fate of being a woman in a time when they only did what they were told. The Mughal history is filled with soft moments of romance and times of passion and aggression.
