Indiaclub.com Description

A poignant and dramatic story of contemporary East and West.

Lady Caroline is used to getting her own way: and Anasuya, an Indian writer, watches without astonishment as the humble peasant-boy Valmiki, who expresses himself in painting, is suddenly swept away from his village to London, Caroline's luxurious house, and smart society. Are Caroline's motives purely altruistic? Valmiki is a person as well as an artist, and his apprenticeship in western ways takes some unorthodox forms. He also thinks to have possessions: the love of women younger than Caroline, for instance.
