Far to Seek A Romance of England and India

"Far to Seek" by Maud Diver is an early 20th-century story that follows young Roy Sinclair, the son of an Indian woman and an English baronet, as he navigates the complexities of his mixed heritage in British colonial India. The book starts with Roy, a lively and imaginative boy, spending a picturesque summer day with his mother and friend, listening to stories that blend their cultural backgrounds. This sets the stage for a tale of cultural identity, youthful escapades, and societal struggles as Roy grows and confronts the expectations and challenges that come with his dual background, all while seeking his place in a changing world.
