Description
Richly evocative of colonial India and England, 'A Lion In The Way' is the engaging story of Edwin Brooke, a widower and music teacher in Calcutta, and of Annerley, his bright, beautiful daughter. Raising a daughter on his own, on a modest salary, and in India in the throes of change is often trying. But love and the help of Mrs. Devenish turn Annerley into one of Calcutta's more eligible women. When she returns to England -- for that particularly English right of passage,public school -- a bright new world open up for her. Mrs. Brooke, her grandmother, can be an exciting taskmistress, but Annerley blossoms into a young beauty. Her experience in two countries provides a vivid description of British family life at home and abroad, and a loving portrayal of India and its people. Citizens of two worlds, India and England, Annerley and her father accept their modest life in Calcutta. fortune, however, waits in the wings for them -- a final twist that will change their life together forever.
