Valerie Fitzgerald is best known for Zemindar, a large historical novel set during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The story follows Laura Hewitt from England to India, where family connections, an unwanted attraction and life on a landed estate place her inside a colonial society approaching violent upheaval. The novel combines romance and domestic relationships with siege, displacement and the practical dangers of rebellion, giving substantial space to landscape and household life before the crisis expands. Fitzgerald's book is long, detailed and written in the tradition of sweeping historical romance. It fits British historical fiction, India-set saga and romantic historical adventure. Read more Less
