Description
In The Tideway is a novel written by Flora Annie Webster Steel and published in 1897. The story is set in the city of Calcutta, India, during the British Raj. The protagonist, a young woman named Hester, is forced to leave her home in England and move to Calcutta with her father after the death of her mother. Hester is unhappy with her new life in India, but gradually finds a sense of purpose as she becomes involved in the local community and begins to learn about the Indian culture. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters, including a wealthy Indian prince, a British soldier, and a group of Indian women who are fighting for their rights. The novel explores themes of cultural differences, gender roles, and the impact of colonialism on both the British and Indian societies. Steel's vivid descriptions of Calcutta and its people provide a rich backdrop for the story, and her nuanced portrayal of the characters and their relationships makes for a compelling read. Overall, In The Tideway is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into a fascinating period of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
