A century-long family saga and a large-scale historical novel, covering not only a century, but also a huge territory - from Malaysia and Burma to India. The story of an Indian orphan boy, Rajkumar, who found himself in Burmese Mandalay, and a girl, Dolly, a servant to the Queen of Burma. They will meet one day in the Glass Palace, the Queen's favorite room, where she will seek refuge during the arrival of the British army in 1885. Thus begins the complex, multifaceted story of Rajkumar and Dolly, into whose orbit more and more new characters will fall. Their destinies will be directly linked to the fate of India, Burma and Malaya. The poor and the rich, kings and orphans, plantation owners and revolutionaries, soldiers and students - who is not in this dynamic, eventful, historically accurate novel. And each fate, each story is closely connected with other fates and stories, and together they form an incredible, very colorful canvas, full of the smallest bright details.
