Staying on

"'Staying On' provides a sort of postscript to [Scott's] deservedly acclaimed 'The Raj Quartet'....He has, as it were, summoned up the Raj's ghost in 'Staying On'....It is the story of the living death, in retirement, and the final end of a walk-on character from the quartet....Scott has completed the task of covering in the form of a fictional narrative the events leading up to India's partition and the achievement of independence in 1947. It is, on any showing, a creditable achievement..."Scott, Paul is the author of 'Staying on', published 1998 under ISBN 9780226743493 and ISBN 0226743497.
