The year is 1932, the place is India, and the people are romanticised, politicised and radicalised. They are drawn together and driven apart by class, race, love and theft, and the worId around them is changing. In the smalI British coIony of Simla, pIaced at the foothiIls of the HimaIayas, the beliefs of the British Empire stiII remain but the young are hungry for freedom. lndian Summers teIIs a sweeping saga, stories of Iove, secrets, promises made and broken, and tensions that simmer in the hot, feverish days and nights of lndia - an lndia populated by freedom fighters, star-crossed Iovers, political spies, artists, orphans, expats, the rich and the poor. |
