Description
The Company’s Servant: A Romance of Southern India unfolds in colonial southern India, centering on a well-bred young English railway guard whose integrity and horsemanship define him. Serving under an assumed name, he confronts social complexities and romantic entanglements in isolated settings like the bleak junction of Tani‑Kul’s station . This two‑volume romance offers vivid portrayals of British-Indian social life, culturally nuanced relationships, and emotional tensions rooted in duty, identity, and convention. It remains one of Croker’s most celebrated works.
