Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A beautiful, haunting love story, set against a simmering backdrop of religious violence and political turmoil." --Publishers Weekly

"Twenty-three-year-old narrator Isabel Webb is a spunky Englishwoman [in a] dangerous love affair in a novel [wherein] much is possible." --Lorraine Adams, The Washington Post

"A fanciful embroidering of the life of [the author's] grandmother, [reinvented as Isabel, ] . . . whose very body becomes a battleground for the dueling forces of imperial rule and native independence." --Elle

Reseña del editor:

India, 1920: exotic, glamorous, and violent, as the country begins to resist England's colonial grip. In the midst of this turmoil, Isabel, a young British military wife, begins a passionate liaison with Sam, an Indian doctor and Oxford graduate who insists, against all odds, on the right to be both black and British. Their secret devotion to each other takes them across India in a terrifying, deadly race against time and tradition. This powerful and erotic love story combines the themes of colonial exploitation, political and ethnic tensions, race and sexuality, and the many forms of partition, both secular and religious, that endanger our world.
