The third instalment of the «Quatuor indien» centres on Barbie Bachelor, confined in a convent in Ranpur, and on India in 1945 under British rule, in the midst of a nationalist awakening. The narrative combines personal drama with the historical panorama of the end of the Raj, the violence of the conflict and the wounds of the characters.

For readers of historical novels and fiction set in colonial India.
