67. The Towers of Silence – Paul Scott

 

Third book of the Raj Quartet. Further detailing the events of the first and second books, and moving forward to the end of WWII.  The British people are beginning to see the writing on the wall, and know that their world is coming to an end.

Such a wonderful, if very sad book. Scott’s way of telling the story is so very different from most novels, and yet so very intriguing. Seeing the events from different viewpoints, each one colored by assumptions and prejudices.
