Description
Chandi, the son of a Ceylonese servant, feels a special connection to Lizzie, the daughter of the British master, because she was born on Chandi's fourth birthday. Set on a British tea plantation in the 1930s and 1940s as Ceylon moves closer to independence, the novel tracks the growing friendship between Chandi and Lizzie, told in a narrative that hovers somewhere between third-person limited and third-person omniscient.
