A propos de cet article

DJ is very worn, especially at the top right hand coner of the cover where a half inch triangular setction is missing. DJ is now protected inside a new, transparent, non-adhesive cover. The book is bumped at the corners, but clean inside, with no inscriptions, etc. The book is a story of India by a writer who was born there and whose reputation as an interpreter of the Indian scene was established by the great success of her earlier novel, Indigo. Having grown up among her Indian characters, she could see into the workings of their hearst and minds and interpret their years of criis in terms of character as could few other contemporary writers. The time is 1947. Inependence and Partition are imminent; the Hindus, the Muslims and the Sikhs must now settle their own destinies by fire, sword, and where possible by compromise. Against this vast background moves a small group of people in whose lives are mirrored the intensity and the compelling drama of India's predicament. For years the dream of independence has dominated the thoughts and hopes of multitudes. When at last they are confronted with a plan, detailed and concrete, men and women who have lived in friendship become vexed amd confused. Each one reacts in a different way. The young Hindu painter, the young Muslim writer and the Maharaja had been firm friends, but now the Maharaqja's mother, fearing her wealth and position are undermined, and distrusting the ideals and ambitions of her son and his friends, seizes the opportunity to sow distrust and dissension among men striving honestly to reconcile their differences. The result is a story of violent action in which the troubles of a subcontinent are mirrored in the affairs of a group of living characters whose individualities are never lost in the parties they represent.…
