cross, and each are certain they are doing what's best for women. What do health, justice, education and
equality mean for women when India is marching toward prosperity, growth and becoming a nuclear power? If

GOLDSWORTHY, ADRIAN
The third novel in the series sees new challenges for the men of the 106th Foot, as the British army attempts to
recover from the disaster of Corunna and establish a foothold in the Peninsula. Featuring the battles of Medellin
and Talavera, the 106th will have their mettle severely tested on the battlefield. But if Napoleon is to be ejected
from Spain, war must also be waged in more covert ways. For Hanley, the former artist who is a more natural
observer than fighter, the opportunity to become an 'exploring officer' leads him into even more dangerous
territory, the murky world of politics and partisans. And while Ensign Williams seeks to uncover the identity of the
mysterious 'Heroine of Saragossa', a conspiracy of revenge within the regiment itself threatens to destroy him
before he's even faced a shot from the French.
