Some inner fury

Mira, young daughter of an upper-class Hindu family, shows herself to us in relation to her Hindu family, to her Oxford-educated older brother, Kit, and Kit's shy new wife, Prem, and to the woman intellectual, Roshan, with whom she works on a nationalist periodical. She falls in love with Richard Marlowe, an official of the British government in India, which causes conflict in her family and at a time when the conflict between British rfule and the Indian will to freedom is growing.
