…the future of India may lie in unexpected hands.
1940, Shimla, British India. Nalini Mistry longs for a life outside of the four walls of her home; reality, however, is different.
Nalini and her two older sisters―Noor and Afreen―run the Royal Hotel Shimla, an opulent establishment that serves British high society. But when an underground revolutionary group asks them to aid a murderous conspiracy during the hotel’s Summer Jubilee Ball, they find themselves thrust headfirst into a dangerous game of lies. It doesn’t help that Nalini finds herself falling for Charles Nayler, a British officer; a man who sees her like nobody else.
As the night of the ball approaches, the sisters are drawn into a web of hidden agendas, shifting alliances, and impossible choices―where nothing is what it seems, and the price of freedom may be everything.
A Shimla Affair follows the story of three women attempting to change the course of Indian independence―for love, duty, and revenge.
