The Jewel in the Crown by Paul Scott
Did not finish book.
I don't usually rate DNF books but this time I'm making an exception as the book wasn't that that bad that I couldn't read it, I just ran out of time with the library. On the other hand, the book wasn't that good that I'll be re borrowing it to finish!
The story is set in India in the 1940's and the author pokes gentle fun at the British colonials, but I personally felt that their attitudes and behaviors warranted more reproof than the mockery that was offered. On the positive note; if you have ever wondered why the cow is sacred in India - this book reveals all!
