"Actually, the Raj Quartet, of which this is the first title, ties with my other favorite book...Howards End.
The Raj Quartet is about the end of the Raj in India, taking place in the last years of WWII just as the Quit India movement was having great effect. The characters are so finely drawn that they are as real as any people you might ever know. The events center around a rape and the repercussions from it that affect the lives and fortunes of many. Fabulous writing, gripping plot make these books
life changing reading."
