Four long stories of Anglo-Indian life, mostly told by women who know the cost of it. In the first, an army wife scrimps through poverty in India and sends her baby home to England, only to meet the child again years later as a stranger. The others weigh ideals, loyalties and love against the strains of exile and official life.
