The first instalment of Scott's Raj Quartet, about life in colonial India. A young Englishwoman, new to India and untainted by the institutionalized racism of the ruling British colonials, begins an affair with a British public school educated young Indian. When the woman is raped by members of a rioting mob her lover is among those accused. The young woman refuses to testify against him or implicate him in any way and because of this she is ostracized by the entire British community.
