Paul Scott - The Raj Quartet. The Jewel in the Crown. Daphne Manners arrives in Mayapore and meets two men who are to change her life: Hari Kumar and Ronald Merrick. The last days of the British Raj in India as the Second World War leads inevitably towards independence. It has appeared twice in the pages of a widely-read weekly book review: The Raj Quartet is one of the longest, most successfully rendered works of nineteenth-century fiction written in the twentieth century. It is, of course, meant to be a put-down, not praise. What is wrong-headed is the prank played with chronology. Paul Scott's epic study of British India in its final years has no equal. Tolstoyan in scope and Proustian in detail but completely individual in effect, it records the encounter between East and West through the experiences of a dozen people caught up in the upheavals of the Second World.
