(5,182 ratings)About this book
No set of novels so richly recreates the last days of India under British rule--"two nations locked in an imperial embrace"--as Paul Scott's historical tour de force, "The Raj Quartet." The Jewel in the Crown opens in 1942 as the British fear both Japanese invasion and Indian demands for independence.
