The Tea Planter's Son: An Anglo-Indian Life

In 1939, a young Englishman rejects a diplomatic career and leaves England to become a tea planter in Darjeeling, India. He marries an illiterate tea picker of Nepali origin and they have a son. The book continues with the son s journey through life: the prejudices he faces as an Anglo-Indian in both countries; the events in Belize, Burma, Jamaica and Sri Lanka that affect him; the women in his life; all answering the question, "what became of him?" Jimmy Pyke is an Anglo-Indian who had a distinguished legal career in London for over 45 years. He has written law books, but The Tea Planter s Son is his debut novel at the age of seventy. 9781482819748 1482819740 385 Fiction NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=viMxAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
