If you are a fan of Edward Rutherfurd’s massive historical novels, you will be knocked off your feet by Rathna K Prasad’s monumental The Yale Chronicles. Meticulously researched and captivatingly written, this engrossing novel The Yale Chronicles  by engineer Prasad, tells the improbable story of Elihu Yale who gave his name to Yale University.

Yale's is a rags to riches tale: born in Boston, reared in London,  this astonishing  young man signs on with the East India Company. In India, Yale accumulates a vast fortune. 

Prasad’s extraordinary research is matched only by her adroit and lush narrative skills in bringing Yale’s story to rich, beautifully textured and gorgeously colored life . The Yale Chronicles is a feast. Sit down and prepare for a banquet.
