A young Indian man is tapped to help his countrys fight for freedombut his heart engages him in a different war.
Grand, sweeping, mesmerizing . . . a richly detailed, politically profound story of love, of migration, of individuals caught up in the great convulsions of history.Joseph ONeill, PEN/Faulkner Awardwinning author of Godwin
Shiv Advani is an eighteen-year-old growing up in IndiaBut he is no ordinary young man. Shiv has been personally chosen by Mahatma Gandhi to come to England, learn their laws, and then return home and help drive the British out of India. Before he leaves, his family insists he fulfill his arranged marriage, and he is hastily betrothed to a young woman he hardly knows.
He arrives in London and soon discovers a world he is both repelled by and drawn toShiv knows his duty: get in, learn the letter of the law, get out. But as anyone who has ever lived in a British colony can tell you, the English Problem is multifaceted. The racist colonialism of the empire on which the sun never sets seeps into everythingnot just landed territories, but territories of the mind: literature, language, religion, sexuality, self-identity.
Soon the people Shiv sought to be liberated from will be the people he desperately wants to be a part of. In the end, Shiv must fight not only for his countrys liberation but also his own.
Set against the backdrop of the Indian independence movement, with appearances by historical figures such as Virginia and Leonard Woolf and Mahatma Gandhi, The English Problem is so self-assured and ambitious, it is hard to believe it is a debut.
