John Masters
World War II has finally played itself out, and the British are leaving India. Through this vortex is spun a fictional plot of terror and politics that illustrates all-too-well the curse that still plagues India today. You can almost smell the mixture of dust, oil, and human sweat as the train pulls into Bhowani Junction.

Turbulent Times in India

This is a well-told and fascinating story told from the perspective of two Anglo Indians (a man and a woman) and a comparatively unprejudiced British officer. John Masters is sympathetic with the position of both Indians and Anglo Indians, and he draws a convincing picture of the interactions among all three populations.
The story is beautifully narrated by three excellent readers, each presenting the story of one of the three main protagonists. The characters are believably presented by both novelist and narrators. It is a melancholy story, and readers like me are left wondering how Anglo Indians fared in the decades after 1947 when India passed from British to Indian control. For those interested in India and the story of Indian independence, well worth reading. This novel does not rise to the exalted quality of Paul Scott's "Raj Quartet" and its epilogue "Staying On," but it is certainly a well above average novel. Worth listening to.
A fine novel, beautifully narrated
