A hook for the ages: a moonlit quest of honour, longing, and fate that threads lovers, legends, and empire into one enduring story. A Digit Of The Moon A Hindoo Love Story invites readers into a late Victorian India where myth and history mingle. This orientalist romance tale follows an epic journey of love and duty, weaving a mythic Hindu romance with the textures of colonial life. The narrative blends ardent romance with adventurous peril, crafted for historical fiction readers who relish atmosphere, character, and moral nuance. It rewards antique literature enthusiasts and book club readers alike with richly drawn settings, resonant themes, and a lucid, lyrical cadence. Published with care for today's audiences, the work stands as much more than a period piece. It carries a note of literary and historical significance, connecting readers with late nineteenth-century imagination and cross-cultural storytelling, while inviting fresh interpretation for new generations. The tale appeals to casual readers seeking a captivating love story and to classic-literature collectors seeking a tangible link to colonial-era imagination. It sits alongside complete illustrated editions and other mythic narratives for Asian myth fans and period drama enthusiasts, offering generous room for discussion, reflection, and wonder. Out of print for decades, now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
