Stationed with her father, a British Major, on the subcontinent of India at the end of WWII, fifteen-year-old Rosalind finds herself drawn into the movement for Indian independence, headed by Ghandi. Captivated by this small man and his enormous message, Rosalind soon finds herself at odds with her father . . .
Whelan is at her strongest when working in a specific historical context, and this novel is no exception; Rosalind's voice is clear and captivating and the historical backdrop is masterfully crafted.
