summary
Marriages, affairs, suicides, murder, madness, and true love – Rajmahal is the story of families brought together in a Calcutta mansion over a century of change. Generations of tenants struggle to come to grips with the social, economic, and intellectual forces working in India as it moves from the British Raj to independence. The personal battles of ex-pats, colonizers, Hindus and Muslims are a mirror of the struggle for possession of the country’s future. “Rajmahal is Sengupta’s Howard’s End.” – Nadine Gordimer
