This review is from: The Broken Road (Dodo Press) (Paperback)
Mason is the author, for those of you who don't recognize him, of the Four Feathers that made it into the movies a few years back. I picked this up expecting to grit my teeth and bear the racism that one expects from 19th century gentlemen. While this is by no means from the point of view of a native of India, this story of a prince educated in England and then thrown back into a country he regards as barbaric, and the prejudice he finds there ,even from the woman he loves, makes it almost as thought provoking as A Passage to India. The adventure is less important than the ties of blood and prejudice that motivate the main characters.

Thrilling,

This review is from: The Broken Road (Paperback)
This exciting story is set in British India. The action, fighting, secret agents, etc. remind me of an earlier version of a Tom Clancy book. Definitely not pc so only buy this if you don't mind the imperial mindset of the day.Other books like this are The Drum and The Young Rajah: Adventures in India.

This review is from: The Broken Road (Kindle Edition)
I have been trying out various free books on my Kindle, and have been reading a lot of Pre-WWII popular fiction just to see what was popular then. I have landed on some clunkers, but this book is very well written, in a style not unlike A. J. Cronin. Definitely worth trying.
