by Carolyn Slaughter (Author)
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.
