Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Stella Barton, a young woman who arrives in India at the outset of the First World War. The author paints a vivid picture of life for the British in India at that time, a society filled with social climbing, petty rivalries, and a sense of superiority that belies the nation's true decline. Stella's sheltered life in England is replaced by a world of polo, dances, and flirtations, all of which are mostly used by her peers to distract themselves from the realities of the war. Yet in this superficial world, Stella cannot deny her growing attraction to Philip Wayne, a serious and introspective soldier who challenges her provincial views. However, it seems that the closer they grow, the more obstacles conspire to keep them apart. The author explores ideas of love, the societal expectations of women, and the nature of duty in a narrative that wonderfully captures the vanished world of the British Raj.
