A classic tale of the British Raj in India that spans decades. A baby boy is born to an English couple in India. As the Sepoy Mutiny rages across India, the boy is given to the care of an Indian nurse, who raises him as her own child to protect him. The boy grows into his early teens believing he is Indian and becomes involved in mystery and murder in a small kingdom. Fleeing with his "mother" for his life, he discovers he is English. Years later, after returning from England as a officer in the British Indian Army, he confronts his two identities and must choose his destiny. This decision become dangerous when he again meets those he knew as a child - especially her!
A search for identity, a war story, a love story, and a story of the British Raj with its benefits and imperfections. Something for everyone.
Made into a TV series that was almost as wonderful to watch as the book was to read.
If you loved reading Kipling's "Kim" as a child, I guarantee you will love reading this book as an adult.
