Description
The East Indian by Brinda Charry is a historical novel that tells the story of Tony, an Indian boy who travels to America in the early 1600s. Born on the Coromandel Coast of India, Tony's life takes a dramatic turn when he is kidnapped from London and bound to servitude on a Virginia plantation. As Tony navigates his new surroundings, he forms unlikely bonds with those around him, including a young boy who will haunt his nightmares. He also embarks on an exploration inland alongside a trader and Native Americans, discovering the vastness and mystery of the New World. Through his experiences, Tony strives to find himself in this new world. This novel is a Dickensian-style tale of family, friendship, and self-discovery set against the backdrop of America's early history.
