The Midnight Rose – Lucinda Riley
Spanning four generations, The Midnight Rose sweeps from the palaces of the maharajas in India to the majestic stately homes of England. The story follows Anahita Chavan, a hundred-year-old Indian woman who sets out to uncover the truth about the son she was told died at birth in England decades ago. She entrusts her story to her great-grandson Ari, who travels to a grand estate in Dartmoor to piece together the past.
There, his path crosses with Rebecca Bradley, a glamorous American actress filming a period drama at the estate. As secrets from the past unfold, they reveal a story of extraordinary love, devastating loss, and a fateful friendship that altered lives across generations.
Beloved for its sweeping dual-timeline structure, vivid historical detail, and emotional depth. Popular across historical fiction and family saga spaces for its grand romantic scope, dramatic twists, and rich multi-generational storytelling.
Ideal for readers of Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden, Santa Montefiore's The Beekeeper's Daughter, Dinah Jefferies's The Tea Planter's Wife, or Victoria Hislop's The Island.
