Kate Erlton, an unhappy officer’s wife, and Jim Douglas, a man living half inside Indian society, are caught in the outbreak at Meerut and the fall of Delhi in 1857. Hidden in the city through the long siege, they witness the rebellion from inside, among sepoys, the Mughal court and ordinary households.

A carefully researched novel of 1857, with the British outlook of its day. Download the free EPUB.
