Under the Mango Tree. E-book. Formato EPUB. In 18th century Calcutta, Lakshmi Rai has grown up under and in the mango tree in her mother&#39;s garden. Escaping there from her chores every chance she gets, she hides amongst the branches to read and study even though reading is unheard of&mdash;even forbidden&mdash;for a good Bengali girl. Only her brother knows and aids her in her passion for learning&mdash;until the day the Englishman comes into the garden and stood under her mango tree.<br />Now all sorts of forbidden thoughts are entering her head&mdash;many of them having to do with the handsome Englishman, Lord Huntley, the man with blue-green eyes. But can a girl from a good Bengali family even dare to dream of such things? If she does, what else might be possible under the mango tree?
