London: Penguin Books. Very Good+. 1969. Reprint; Eleventh Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB . Minor reading creases to lightly sunned spine. ; Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside. Cover artwork by Tony Moore. ; 256 pages; Just forty, Ralph Singh, a disgraced colonial minister exiled from Isabella, the Caribbean island of his birth, writes his autobiography in a genteel hotel in a run-down London suburb as a means to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the paradox of his childhood during which he secretly fantasized about a heroic India, yet changed his name from Ranjit Kripalsingh. As he assesses his past, Singh realizes what has kept him from becoming a proper Englishman. But it is the return home and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governed nation that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment. .
