Paul Scott gets the British Indians like no other writer in my opinion. In this second masterpiece Paul further explores the complex tripartite relationship between the British in mainland, British in India and the Anglicised Indians of India. The world that comes out of the many interrelated stories is passionate, idealistic, racial and exciting. I got to know how the British were able to rule India and got an understanding of the Indian struggle for Independence from a British Indian point of view.
It is a must read for all aficionados of British India. Cannot wait to read the third novel in the series.
