British Empire recommendations

[WinWinnieTheWay]

I absolutely adore the descriptions of family life in India in Maggie O'Farrell's The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox.

I'd love to read more fiction set in India about British families. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

There are loads!
Just for a start:
A Passage to India by E.M. Forster
The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye
Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
The Raj Quartet by Paul Scott
Various novels by Rumer Godden who grew up in India: Black Narcissus, Breakfast with the Nikolides, Kingfishers Catch Fire, The River...

Thank you! I've ordered Heat and Dust and will look Rummer Godden.

Different location but your post made me think of The Help; loved that (excuse the random post!)

Thank you all! My amazon basket is full. I need to crack on and enjoy them while the weather is balmy and hot.
