About this book
The surrender of the Sikh army leaves Raee Singh struggling with the collapse of a cause he has revered since childhood. Set in the Punjab, C. A. Frazer's historical novel begins by tracing the Khalsa's religious origins and growth into a military power. Raee's grief brings that account into the home, where his son attends him as he reflects on faith, defeat and the meaning of a life devoted to obedience.
Prose narrative alternates with verse, giving public events and private sorrow a reflective tone. In the middle excerpt, Atmâ and Bertram discuss creation, time and beliefs shared across religious traditions while walking to an old burial ground. Their encounter with Rajah Lal Singh adds political unease, while Nawab Khan's account of a gentle princess introduces another story within the novel.
