Star of India is a romantic novel that follows the complicated
courtship and marriage of a young woman who's disenchanted with the
minutiae of life. Refusing to embrace the role of a missionary or
tutor, she hastily weds an older man in hopes of breaking away from
her family's oppressive influence. Stella Carrington is eager to
experience life outside the confines of her grandmother's home. In
an attempt to curb Stella's unconventional desires, her family
seeks the help of her godfather Robert Crayfield, a colonel in the
Indian service. Instead of occupational guidance, he offers to
marry Stella and take her to India as his bride. Stella discovers
the complicated nature of marriage having to navigate new and
unexpected responsibilities. Soon, conflicts are amplified by the
appearance of Philip Flint, a handsome young officer stationed in
town. It's a classic tale of love and duty that forces Stella to
make a difficult but necessary decision. This is a complex story
that bucks tradition pitting one character's happiness against the
desires of another. Star of India is a fascinating look at
marriage, the military and colonial politics. With an eye-catching
new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Star of India is both modern and readable.
