Growing is a portrait of a young man sent straight out from
university to help govern Ceylon. It is doubtful that any Empire at
any time has been served by such an intelligent, dutiful,
hardworking and incorruptible civil servant as the young Leonard
Woolf. He was determined to do what was good but discovered for
himself that colonial rule, be it ever so high-minded, is fated to
do wrong. Growing is also a deeply affectionate account of the
mystery, magic and savage beauty of Ceylon at the turn of the
century, an island whose diverse beliefs and cultures Woolf had the
time and wit to explore in detail.
