A sixteen-year-old boy returns to India from school in England. He develops a fascination with the land he barely remembers, becomes friendly with several Bengali young men, and finds himself in conflict with his father, a pillar of the British Raj.
Moving between India and London, he increasingly finds himself between two cultures, forming friendships with Gandhi and Vivekananda and emerging as a powerful writer on Indian politics and culture.
The three loves of his life, an Anglo-Indian, an Indian widow and a radical English poet and suffragette, feed his emotional life. But always he is conscious of being a fugitive, as he draws the reader with him into enchanting new worlds.
