I'm glad to share the latest 5 star review posted today on amazon:
Love Prevails, May 5, 2012

This review is from: Wings Of Freedom (Kindle Edition)
If
you like a good love story with a historical setting this is a great book to
read. Raj, an Indian college boy and Eileen, the artistic daughter of a British
diplomat meet and fall in love during a tenuous political time in India. The
stirrings of India's struggle for freedom are taking shape and things are
beginning to get dangerous. There's a huge fire in the British camp and an
assasination attempt on King George during his coronation ceremony. Raj and
Eileen are caught up in the fervor of revolution and must also face the
cultural differences between their families. (The British frown upon their
daughters marrying Indian men) In spite of the difficulties, Raj and Eileen
prevail. What I loved most was the glimpse I got into Indian culture through
Raj's family and the overall picture of England's rule and occupation of India
at that time. Raj's interactions with his mother and father, uncle, his
friends, etc. are well portrayed as is Eileen's side - her privileged life as
the daughter of a high ranking British officer. A lot of research went into the
details of the history here and the love story that endured in spite of so much
against trhem was truly heart-warming. Love really does conquer all, especially
in the Wings of Freedom.
