Underwhelming after its predecessor volumes

I totally enjoyed this book. I enjoyed this "biography"/story about one who lied about her parentage and picked a point in time, created a history, and lived it out for almost 70 years afterwards. I do not condone untruthfulness; but, this lady concocted a story, financially supported herself and in so doing created a life for her children that would educate them beyond the possibilities of that time for folks of their perceived status. I learned about the East India Company and can not be proud of it or British heritage in India. Thank God my British ancestors who made their ways to Canada. I was fascinated by what I learned about Thailand and its court (in late eighteenth / early nineteenth centuries) and the needs of women during that time that carry forward into today.
