Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A gorgeous, sensual novel set in Mughal India and Renaissance Florence, from the highly acclaimed and hugely popular author of "Midnight's Children", which won both the Booker Prize and the Booker of Bookers. Rushdie's previous novel "The Moor's Last Sigh" sold over 250,000 copies, and "Shalimar The Clown" sold over 50,000 copies. This historical epic features Niccolo Machiavelli as he learns about the true brutality of power.

Publisher's description:

Presents the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man's world. This book brings together two cities that barely know each other - the hedonistic Mughal capital, in which the emperor wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire and the treachery of sons, and the equally sensual Florentine world of powerful courtesans.
