"Long ago I read some of this series, certainly the Jewel in the Crown and I think book 2 & part of 3 maybe and I know I watched the TV production (BBC?) which was terrific. It is a gripping and powerful saga about British Colonialism in India with all its attendent racism, bigotry & self-righteousness.... A very powerful series.
I've read a number of excellent books about India, which, till today, I had not put on my book list as I read most of them way back in the 70's or 80's. But they are well worth remembering and I recommend all of them... This series included."
"Fabulous read, great characters mostly all caught between several stools: culture, changing times, countries, identities. Could fit it well to current situation with US and Iraq. Learned a fair bit about Anglo-Indian relations/politics. Highly recommendable."
"I had read one of the Raj Quartet books and wanted to read them all. So I looked on Alibris for the others and found that the series was available in a set version. I ordered it and was very pleased that the set of books arrived in perfect condition. Unbelievablely great and still inexpensive! What a great way to build a great library. Thanks Alibris."
