Synopsis
This is the first novel by Indian-born novelist Bhattacharya. It is narrated through the eyes of a young Englishman whose father, John Sugden, was sent to India in the 1920s to work for the Indian Civil Service in the town of Sripore. When a young Hindu woman was raped and then rejected by her husband and family, Sugden took her in. The two fell in love and escaped in disgrace to Pondicherry. There they married and had a son--the narrator--who returns to India during World War II to India to avenge his parents' reputations.

Industry Reviews
"Bhattacharya does make a bold attempt to capture the spirit of segments of society in colonial India, and signs of promise emerge, notably in the depiction of the growing love between an Englishman and an Indian. But these signs fall short of fulfillment because of the author's inadequate literary equipment."
Washington Post Book World - Guy Amirthanayagam (07/14/1996)

"A moving and refreshingly intelligent story of love across the racial divide in the dying days of the Raj....[T]he lucidly detailed history and the unusual lovers, remarkable both for their smarts and their virtues, make for an accomplished debut."
