Meet Tony: the first Indian to set foot on American soil. Among the
settlers, slaves, and indentured servants that make the treacherous
journey across the Atlantic to the New World in the early 1600s -
for some, an exciting opportunity, for others, a brutal abduction -
there is also Tony. As a child, his homeland on the Coromandel
Coast of India becomes a trading outpost for the English; as an
orphaned teenager, he finds himself kidnapped from the streets of
London and bound to servitude on a Virginia plantation. But Tony is
not giving up on his dreams just yet. Under the rule of a sadistic
plantation owner, he forms a tender bond with a young boy who will
haunt his nightmares; on an exploration inland alongside a trader
and Native Americans, he realises the world is vaster and more
mysterious than he could have imagined; and in Jamestown, he
finally earns himself a position as a physician's apprentice, an
ambition he has long harboured. The East Indian is a
Dickensian-style yarn about family, friendship, and finding oneself
in the seeds of a new world.
