Présentation de l'éditeur
Madge Wilton, much against her normal inclinations, was a colonels wife. She had never wanted to be one, but during a hectic week at the beginning of the first Great War she had fallen in love with her husband, who was a man who be Ueved in fearing God, honouring the King, and marital relations, so there was no help for it. The ships engines had stopped. We re here, and its another lovely sunny morning, she said to the girl who had been her stable companion throughout the voyage, and who was now pulling on a pair of stockings, and thats what most of us are going to say for the next three years, barring the merciful dispensation of the rains. Madge was expansive in manner, seldom discreet, and some people on board had thought her vulgar. She knew this, and it amused her. Nothing would have persuaded her to have tried to be refined. Now she was making up more lavishly than her critics would have thought necessary. You shouldnt have come out here, she said, but Ive told you so before. Not with that look about you of be Ueving in fairies. If I have it, I should have thought it a good reason for coming. Or for going anywhere, for that matter, but as it happens, I dont believe in them. The girls name was Stella Barton, and she was twenty-two, long-limbed, and the right shape for the rather tubular clothes that were the fashion. Her dark hair was shingled, ending in a point on her neck. Now she was putting on a muslin blouse, and a white hnen skirt that looked too obviously home-made. Her eyes were grey-green in some fights they looked blue and so wide apart as to be almost abnormal. Her nose was straight; the nostrils sensitive. Don tbe so literal, my dear. You shouldnt have come, because its giving that old slut Nature an undue advantage.

Paperback. Etat : 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.
