Publisher's Summary

India, 1943. In a regimental hill station, the ladies of Pankot struggle to preserve the genteel facade of British society amid the debris of a vanishing empire and World War II. This volume follows the fates of the Laytons and a retired missionary teacher, all of whom can foresee the end of the Raj - and both welcome and lament its passing.

What the critics say

"Remarkable....Never has the theme - relations between Europeans and non-Europeans - been treated as brilliantly." (The New Yorker)
