It is the summer of 1948. In the heady aftermath of World War II,
London is reawakening to a more confident, buoyant future. But for
Sebastian Reynolds, an immensely successful newspaper publisher,
the future looks less certain. Despite his substantial wealth and
eminent position, he has never managed to penetrate the closed,
rarified circles of English society. Nor has he managed to escape
the whiff of scandal that everywhere precedes him. Thousands of
miles away, in the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, Vikhram Sukhadia is
thinking only of his home in Bombay. Weighed down heavily by the
burdens of unrelenting poverty, for two years he has struggled in
the mournful desert to find a new path for himself. A path that
might narrow the gap between the soaring promises made to his young
family and his still scant achievements. Closer East traces the
stirring adventures of these two men who share a dream of India. A
faraway place that, for each of them, holds the promise of release
and of redemption.
