Description

Spring 1920 in Nandagiri, south-east India. A small military town with a complex social hierarchy. Colonel Aylmer's Royal Irish Kildare Rangers are stationed there, but the local Anglo-Indians, with their mixed heritage, are often overlooked and excluded. As tensions rise between the troops and the native population, Private Michael Flaherty finds himself drawn to Rose, Mrs Aylmer's maid. But when news of the Black and Tans' atrocities reaches the town, passions run high and loyalties are tested. Sixty years later, Colonel Aylmer's grandson Richard arrives, setting off a chain of events that will reunite old enemies and reveal long-hidden secrets. A story of love, loyalty, and redemption set against the tumultuous backdrop of India's colonial past.
