Hari's rise to fame as a dancer and courtesan.... At once worldly and naïve, this version of Hari evokes both sympathy and frustration. She is portrayed with depth, yet she also seems to lack intelligence and relies too much on men and her own charms to get by. —Christina Thurairatnam, Holmes Cty. Dist. P.L., Millersburg, OH
Library Journal
[A]n evocative tapestry depicting the woman who captured the collective imagination of several nations.... [Q]uestions of her guilt or innocence ultimately take a back seat to her mesmerizing tale. Moran breathes new life into another atrophied legend of a remarkable woman.
