I often walk my little dog in a Victorian cemetery. I like to read the gravestones, and I've noticed many of them are for people who were either born, served or died in India. I've realised that the raj is something I know very little about, and I'd like to amend that.
I know there's the raj quartet aka Jewel in the Crown, but I have seen the tv version of that (albeit many years ago) and it's set during the 1940s in the dying days of the raj, I'm more interested in the Victorian period.
So basically I'm looking for either well researched historical fiction or not too over dense non fiction. I prefer social history to military or political history if that helps. Tia
