If you're also interested in a later period of British-Indian history, The Raj Quartet by Paul Scott is set in the period of World War II up to independence. It's actually four books: The Jewel in the Crown, The Day of the Scorpion, The Towers of Silence, A Division of the Spoils. (I also liked the "Jewel in the Crown" miniseries.) A Passage to India, by E.M. Forster, is also good, and I liked the movie too. Hi Carol, thanks for taking a look!

I read a lot of English mysteries dealing with Victorian and pre-victorian eras and find myself fascinated by the politics and social values and practices of those eras. The English relationship with India is something I would like to learn more about since one of our closest neighbors, a retired Sociology professor here in Charleston, is Indian. Thanks for inviting me to join your blog. Carol Hi Lois, The Siege of Krishnapur sounds very interesting.
