THE SUNDAY TIMES NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2020
'A compelling read. Carys Davies has an amazing gift' Penelope Lively
From the prize-winning author of West, a collision between old and new, east and west, in a former British hill station in South India.
Fleeing the dark undercurrents of his life in Britain, Hilary Byrd takes refuge in Ooty, a hill station in South India. There he finds solace in life's simple pleasures, travelling by rickshaw around the small town with his driver Jamshed and staying in a mission house beside the local presbytery where the Padre and his adoptive daughter Priscilla have taken Hilary under their wing.
As Hilary's friendship with the young woman grows, he begins to wonder whether his purpose lies in this new relationship. But religious and nationalist tensions are brewing and the mission house may not be the safe haven it seems...
