Synopsis
This novel, which won the Booker Prize in 1977, is a coda to "The Raj Quartet". It is set in the new India of 1972, where an elderly couple--Colonel Tusker Smalley and his wife Lucy (minor characters in the "Quartet"--have remained to live out their lives in Pankot, the former military station. Tusker’s death prompts Lucy to remember and reveal the ironies and melancholy of their uncommunicative marriage.
