About this book
In the late 19th century, as the British Empire expanded its reach across India, social conventions were rigorously defined yet ripe for challenge. "The Railway Man and His Children" by Mrs. Oliphant intricately weaves the complexities of cross-cultural relationships and societal expectations through the lens of a marriage proposal. At the heart of the narrative lies the juxtaposition of familial duty and personal desire, embodied in Evelyn Ferrars and James Rowland's compelling story. This novel offers a nuanced exploration of class, gender, and the impact of colonialism. Ideal for students and historians alike, this work invites readers to reflect on the evolving dynamics of love and duty within a colonial context, making it a vital addition to any literary study of the period.
