An Indian voyage and a forbidden love on the Grand Trunk Road
Samuel Newham, a junior officer in the Indian General Survey and Transport Corps, travels toward Humdrumpore with his father. He rescues Eva, a mysterious woman, from armed bearers, embarks on a fraught courtship at Abracabad, and faces gossip, a veteran suitor, and rumors of scandal as he proceeds toward Kush, where a posting and a letter may determine his fate.
