Burmese Days
Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, Burmese Days describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when 'after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a "subject" people, an inferior people with black faces'. The doctor needs help. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire.
The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. U Po Kyin, Sub- divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris.
At last, after years of 'solitary hell', romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the 'lie' of the 'pukka sahib pose'.
