Son of the moon

Against a background of communal strife, famine, Hindu tradition, etc., the author weaves a novel around Vijay, an Anglicized Indian with a love of flying and a passion to bring modern aviation to internal India. This is also the story of his struggle within himself and with his friends and family, the clash between the Indian background and English acquired tastes and ideals, and finally his marriage to a Hindu girl who shows him how to meet his countrymen half-way.
