En la colina india de Pankot, durante los últimos días de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las esposas, hijas y viudas inglesas de los oficiales se reúnen, representando un microcosmos de la sociedad inglesa, rígida en su sentido del deber y consciente de las diferencias de clase. Mientras tanto, el capitán Merrick y el ejército británico luchan por mantener la ilusión de invencibilidad británica frente a un cambio inevitable. Mabel Layton, una figura destacada de la sociedad de Pankot, se refugia en la tranquilidad de su jardín de rosas y en su visión interna de la India, cuestionando el antiguo orden. Paul Scott retrata con humor y compasión los últimos días del Raj británico.
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.
