«Las Torres del silencio» is the novel by Paul Scott published by Diagonal in 2001 in hardcover (475 pages, in Spanish).
Towards the end of the Second World War, English women —mothers, daughters and widows of officers stationed in India— gather in Pankot. Seeing their traditions threatened, they trust Captain Merrick and the British army to preserve the myth of imperial superiority in the face of the social and political change that is approaching.
For readers of historical fiction about colonial India and the decline of the British Empire.
Paul Mark Scott was an English novelist best known for his tetralogy The Raj Quartet. In the last years of his life, his novel Staying On won the Booker Prize (1977). The series of books was dramatised by Granada Television during the 1980s and won Scott the public and critical acclaim that he had not received during his lifetime.
