Born to Persian refugees who attained eminence at the Mughal court, Mehr-un-nissa grew up on the fringes of Emperor Akbar’s court in Agra, Kabul and Lahore. In this fictional diary, Deepa Agarwal gives us a glimpse into the queen’s teenage years: how she grows into a strong and passionate young woman; her love for poetry and writing; and her interest in the larger world around her. Her diary also describes the Mughal world through the eyes of a young girl: the vibrant Meena Bazaars; the elaborate festival celebrations; and the intricacies of life in the zenana. But above all, her diary records her ambition to meet the love of her life and also to carve a place for herself in history. A fascinating blend of history and fiction, The Teenage Diary of Nur Jahan brings alive a bygone age in a unique and captivating manner for young readers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47076333289623,"sku":"9789388874014","price":210.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789388874014.webp?v=1772873345","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-teenage-diary-of-nur-jahan-9789388874014","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
