Book Details
First Sentence
"Imagine, then, a flat landscape, dark for the moment, but even so conveying to a girl running in the still deeper shadow cast by the wall of the Bibighar gardens an idea of immensity, of distance, such as years before Miss Crane had been conscious of standing where a lane ended and cultivation began: a different landscape but also in the alluvial plain between the mountains of the north and the plateau of the south."
Edition Notes
The Four books of The Raj Quartet in one volume. A tie-in with the Granada television mini-series which dramatized The Raj Quartet.
Book cover shows Tim Piggott-Smith as Captain (later Lt. Colonel) Ronald Merrick from the television adaptation.
