Description de l'ouvrage :
Victoria & Abdul tells the extraordinary true story of Queen Victoria’s relationship with Abdul Karim, her Muslim manservant, who travelled from India to present a ceremonial medal as part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee but within months became her personal teacher of Urdu and dedicated spiritual advisor.
