Excerpt from Under the Deodars, the Phantom R̓ickshaw, Wee Willie Winkle
In the pleasant orchard-closes God bless all our gains, say we; But May God bless all our losses, Better suits with our degree. The Lost Bower.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the journey of a young British civil servant named Otis Yeere as he attempts to escape the humdrum existence of his junior position in the Bengal government. Set against the backdrop of the opulent and gossipy society of Simla, the book explores themes of ambition, social class, and the power of self-belief. Through the mentorship of the enigmatic and influential Mrs. Hauksbee, Otis embarks on a transformation, shedding his initial self-doubt and learning to navigate the treacherous waters of colonial society. As he rises through the ranks, Otis grapples with the complex dynamics of power and the moral ambiguities of his position. Amidst the glittering ballrooms and sunlit trails, the book delves into the complexities of human nature, the interplay between personal aspirations and societal expectations, and the enduring impact of the colonial experience on both the rulers and the ruled.
