An immersive historical fiction novel set in India. Loot by Tania James begins in Mysore in the 1790s, and a young woodcarver called Abbas is summoned to the palace of Tipu Sultan to help a French clockmaker, Lucien du Leze build a clockwork tiger.

And so starts a series of events that will see the end of Tipu Sultans reign, Abbasโ€™ journey to France and his subsequent quest to find and recover the tiger for himself. Itโ€™s a tale full of adventure, danger and romance. I really enjoyed it!
