  A Black Englishman is an epic and intimate novel about love and loyalty, revenge and faith, race and identity, and what it takes to be human. India, 1920: exotic, glamorous and wrenching away from Britain's colonial grip, only to be thrown into religious violence and terrorism. Isabel, a young woman in search of herself and in flight from the ravages of the Great War, has married a career soldier whose brutality and cruelty sicken her. Upon arrival in India she is thrust headlong into a passionate and dangerous liaison with Sam, an Indian doctor who insists, against all the odds, on the right to be both black and British. 'This is a fine novel in which character and situation are perfectly balanced against a dramatic and perennially fascinating historical watershed.' Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail

  Isabel, a young married woman in search of herself and in flight from the ravages of the Great War, is thrust headlong into a passionate and dangerous liaison with Sam, an Indian doctor, who insists, against all the odds, on the right to be both black and British. Rather than hiding their relationship, Isabel and Sam disappear into the tumultuous society of India. Their devotion to each other takes them across the length and breadth of the country and to the brink of disaster. This is a powerful and erotic novel that embraces the challenges of the Anglo Indian romance and turns them on their head - creating a modern story of love and anguish, race and revenge, set against the sensual and turbulent last days of the Raj.
