  SYNOPSIS: This is a novel of life in an Indian garrison town, Amritpore. The story centers in the household of Madame de St. Remy, a French widow who owns and operates an indigo factory. She despises the English colony, which is dominated by an eccentric old lady, Mrs. Lyttleton. There is violent jealousy between the two women, which is fanned by their affection for the dark-haired Jacques de St. Remy, Madame ’s fourteen-yearold son. Jacques has a friend of his own age, Hardyal, a sensitive young Hindu. Madame de St. Remy resents Hardyal, as she resents all outside claims upon her son. But the friendship persists. When Hardyal is sent to school in England by his father, Ganpat Rai, Jacques in his loneliness turns to the comfort of Mrs. Lyttleton. Thereupon his mother ships him off to school in the Indian uplands.
