About the Book

This passionate, lush, and dramatic (Sandra Gulland) debut novel reveals the story behind the building of the Taj Mahal and the destruction of a royal family.

About the Author :
John Shors traveled extensively throughout Asia after graduating from Colorado College in 1991, living for several years in Japan, where he taught English, and then trekking across the continent, visiting ten countries and climbing the Himalayas. More recently, Mr. Shors worked as a newspaper reporter in his hometown, Des Moines, Iowa, before entering public relations and moving to Boulder, Colorado. Beneath a Marble Sky is his first novel.

Review :
"[A] spirited debut novel ...With infectious enthusiasm and just enough careful attention to detail, Shors gives a real sense of the times, bringing the world of imperial Hindustan and its royal inhabitants to vivid life."--Publishers Weekly "Jahanara is a beguiling heroine whom readers will come to love; none of today's chick-lit heroines can match her dignity, fortitude and cunning...Elegant, often lyrical, writing distinguishes this literary fiction from the genre known as historical romance. It is truly a work of art, rare in a debut novel."--The Des Moines Register "An exceptional work of fiction...A gripping account."--India Post "Beneath a Marble Sky is a passionate, lush, and dramatic novel, rich with a sense of place. John Shors is an author of sweeping imaginative force."--Sandra Gulland, author of The Josephine B. Trilogy "[A] story of romance and passion...A wonderful book if you want to escape to a foreign land while relaxing in your porch swing."--St. Petersburg Times
