About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, September 2003. Hardcover. First Edition (stated). Near Fine book in a Fine jacket. Interior pristine. Spine straight and tight, tail bumped. Jacket clean and bright. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 288 pages. Calcutta in 1836: an uneasy mix of two worlds-the patient, implacably unchangeable India and the tableau vivant of English life created of imperialism's desperation. This is where Lady Eleanor, her sister Harriet, and her brother, Henry-the newly appointed Governor-General of the colony-arrive after a harrowing sea journey. Historically precise, gorgeously evocative, banked with the heat of unbidden desires.
