This is the saga of Lalljee Lakha as he rises from his humble
beginnings as a penniless orphan in his desert homeland of Kutch to
amass a large fortune as Bombays Cotton King. Set against the eventful
period between Indias War for Independence in 1857 and the fledgling
freedom struggle of the early twentieth century, this sweeping tale is
peopled by a vibrant array of characters merchant princes and
maharajas, courtesans and soothsayers, pirates, freedom fighters and
soldiers of the British Raj. Days of Gold and Sepia paints the
portrait of a man of courage and character, and is the story of the
discovery of life, the pain of a passionate and doomed love and family
feuds, and of great personal integrity and human frailty.
