In The Pool in the Desert, first published in 1903, Sara Jeannette
Duncan explores the impact of isolation on the small British
communities of Victorian India. In the four stories collected
here-"The Pool in the Desert," "A Mother in India," "An Impossible
Ideal," and "The Hesitation of Miss Anderson"-Duncan's women have
certain freedoms living amidst the reaches of Empire, but they also
must negotiate their way through a landscape dominated by the
constraints of small military societies. The stories that result
combine a delicacy of manners and movement that recalls Henry
James, with a wit and sharp eye for small town foibles that bring
Stephen Leacock to mind.
