| Description |
The story opens in 1862 when Anna, an attractive English widow, arrives in Bangkok, Siam, to become governess to the king's many children. She is promptly awed by the splendour of the palace and the unpredictable and dynamic king. Although upset by his stubborn refusal to give her a house of her own away from the palace, she warms to his great heart and good intentions. She becomes, in effect, his advisor and helps him through diplomatic adventures. She becomes close friends with Lady Thiang, the head wife, and Tuptim, a lovely Burmese Princess, who has been given to the king as a present. Tu |
