India, 1943: In a regimental hill station, the ladies of Pankot struggle to preserve the genteel façade of British society amid the debris of a vanishing empire and World War II. A retired missionary, Barbara Batchelor, bears witness to the connections between many human dramas; the love between Daphne Manner and Hari Kumar; the desperate grief an old teacher feels for an India she cannot rescue; and the cruelty of Captain Ronald Merrick. This 1983 Granada Paperback is in fair condition. ISBN: 9780586038000 SKU: 1182325 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book. Show more
