Book description
Recommended by John'J.G. Farrell's masterpiece, the second in his loose trilogy about the decline of the British Empire, tells the story of the British community of the small town of Krishnapur under siege in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and their eventual collapse and retreat. Harrowing in places, it is also extremely funny, and nobody who has encountered his cast of brilliantly-drawn characters is likely to forget them.'
