Description
The Day of the Scorpion The arrest of ex-Chief Minister Mohammed Ali Kasim by British police signals a further deterioration in Anglo-Indian relations. For families like the Laytons, who have lived and served in India for generations, the immediate social and political realities are both disturbing and tragic. As the British struggle to come to terms with the violent years ahead, they are forced to confront the complexities of their own past. Growing confusion and bewilderment grip the nation, and the fragile balance between India and Britain begins to unravel. Paul Scott's masterful novel is a powerful exploration of the tensions between East and West, and the devastating consequences of a nation's decline. Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet is a landmark work of literature, one that has captivated readers with its rich tapestry of Indian and British character.
