About this book
As British rule in India draws to a close, Tom Gower's ideals and his wife Dorothy's concealed Anglo-Indian background are tested by the society around them. Paul Scott brings personal loyalties, racial prejudice and the uncertainties of independence together in a compact novel anticipating the concerns of his later Raj Quartet.
