It's spring 1920 in the small military town of Nandagiri in
southeast India. Colonel Aylmer, commander of the Royal Irish
Kildare Rangers, is in charge. A distance away, decently hidden
from view, lies the native part of Nandagiri with its heaving
bazaar, reeking streets, and brothels. Everyone in Nandagiri knows
their place and the part they were born to play--with one
exception. The local Anglo-Indians, tainted by their mixed blood,
belong nowhere. When news of the Black and Tans' atrocities back in
Ireland reaches the troops, even their priest cannot cool the men's
hot-headed rage. Politics vie with passion as Private Michael
Flaherty pays court to Rose, Mrs. Aylmer's Anglo-Indian maid, but
mutiny brings heroism and heartbreak in equal measure. Only the
arrival of Colonel Aylmer's grandson Richard, some 60 years later,
will set off the reckoning, when those who were parted will be
reunited, and those who were lost will be found again.
