Tusker and Lily Smalley stayed on in India. Given the chance to
return 'home' when Tusker, once a Colonel in the British Army,
retired, they chose instead to remain in the small hill town of
Pangkot, with its eccentric inhabitants and archaic rituals left
over from the days of the Empire. Only the tyranny of their
landlady, the imposing Mrs Bhoolabhoy, threatens to upset the quiet
rhythm of their days. Both funny and deeply moving, Staying On is a
unique, engrossing portrait of the end of an empire and of a
forty-year love affair.
