Permeated by the political tension of the unsettled era. Crossing the River opens in February 1942. The Japanese Army has conquered Burma and is threatening to invade neighboring India. Ghandi is calling on the British to "Quit India". In the town of Maypore, Police Superintendent Ronald Merrrick arrests a young Indian news reporter suspected of subversion, Hari Kumar. Meanwhile, on the other side of the river that divides the city and the cultures, Daphne Manners arrives from England. It is the start of a chain of events binding English and Indians in a web of love, tragedy and death.

    Oh, no, not star-crossed. In the second book of the Raj Quartet, Paul Scott writes that Daphne and Hari were "lovers who could never be described as star-crossed because they had had no stars. For them, heaven had drawn an implacable band of dark across its constellations..."

    But yes, tragic, very tragic.

  • One of the best series ever
