Customer Reviews of Bhowani Junction a Novel
A novel about an Anglo-Indian's search for her identity. Victoria Jones is a 28-year old Anglo-Indian (mixed Indian and European blood) living in Bhowani in the turbulent months leading to Indian independence. This novel explores her search for where she will belong in the "new" India- she does her searching through her liaisons with a fellow Anglo-Indian, an Indian (Sikh) and a British officer. It is a very good book, especially reading it from a historical/feminist perspective. It falls well will other novels of the British Raj - where Anglo-Indian women are depicted as sexual objects. The movie version of the book starring Ava Gardner does it justice, but it is always better to read the book instead!
