Lioness of Punjab is the story of a brave Sikh girl, Mai Bhago, who is unafraid to challenge the norms of her time in order to fight for her beliefs and her beloved people.
I enjoyed getting this glimpse into the history and beliefs of Sikhism. It's a fascinating time period in history and was well researched and incorporated into the story. The narrative style was not my favourite but this is purely personal preference. I also felt that the ending was somewhat abrupt and would have liked to see the later years of Mai Bhago's life fleshed out a little more.
