Amid the heat and dust of the Raj, sharp, compact sketches follow soldiers, civil servants, memsahibs and misfits as ambition, gossip, and desire rule the hill stations and cantonments. With wit and sting, these tales reveal fragile reputations, mismatched marriages, sudden tragedies and sly redemptions—an intimate atlas of empire where small choices carry outsized consequences.
