The Jewel in the Crown by Paul Scott
3.0

Deep, incisive look at the dynamics of the Indian/ British relationship in the final years of the Raj. At times fascinating, at times tedious as Scott gives us repeatedly the viewpoint of the same happening from multiple perspectives. Well written, highly knowledgeable view of India but felt somewhat long and drawn out at times. Enough here to take me on to book two with high hopes.
