New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
A little over a year ago I read the first in Paul Scott’s remarkable Raj Quartet, The Jewel in the Crown. Last month, I finished reading the next in the series, The Day of the Scorpion. Each are very captivating novels rich in history and deep characterizations. I would be hard pressed to tell you which one I liked better! In The Day of the Scorpion, the end of World War II is approaching, and the end of the British Raj is on the horizon in India. In this installment, some of the characters from the first are once again part of the story, while some new individuals appear on the scene. Scott does a tremendous job of presenting to us the sensibilities of the people of an entire subcontinent through his characters. We see each through a lens that does not distort but reveals their inner feelings in such a way that you understand even if you do not agree with all. Racial tensions continue as the people of India seek and demand independence. The British in India are struggling with their place in this changing new world. Sarah Layton, in particular, is a fascinating young woman who stands for the newest generation of English; and her perspectives on their role and responsibilities as well as her growth throughout the novel are highly compelling. "She was herself because her sense of self, her consciousness of individuality was tenacious, grindingly resistant to temptations to surrender it in exchange for a share in that collective illusion of a world morally untroubled, convinced of its capacity to find just solutions for every problem that confronted it, a world where everything was accepted as finally defined, a world that thought it knew what human beings were." This book seemed broader in scope than the first, but events and people are tied together in ways that demonstrate Scott’s skill and the …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
“The Raj Quartet”, Paul Scott’s epic drama of India, is set at the close of World War II, and covers events in the five-year period from 1942 to 1947 with great authenticity. These were particularly turbulent years in the country’s history, involving the gradual demise of the British Raj, who ruled India at that time. In 1945, India gained their independence from Great Britain, colonialism ended and the difficult transfer of power began.The tetralogy “The Raj Quartet” is a tour de force, taking nine years for Paul Scott to write, and has been compared by some critics with Tolstoy. It continues with this second part, The Day of the Scorpion, which was first published in 1968. All four books can be read individually, but it is far better to read them in order, as they follow quite a few of the characters’ paths. If you have not yet read my review of the first part, “The Jewel in the Crown”, published in 1966, you may also like to do so before reading this, as it sets the scene.The Day of the Scorpion, unlike “The Jewel in the Crown”, does not relate the same story from many points of view in a structured succession. Neither is it action-packed. Although there are some extremely shocking moments, the pace here is slow and leisurely. Paul Scott tended to write in a restrained manner, with much reported action, rather than placing us in the heart of the violent events.Furthermore, much of the action is seen through others’ eyes, such as the interview of Hari Kumar in prison by Captain Rowan, who unbeknownst to him, knew him as a younger schoolboy in England, “Harry Coomer”, and the civil servant Vallabhai Ramaswamy Gopal. We also have yet another lens to look at this episode through, as it is secretly viewed by Lady Manners, Daphne’s aunt. Another significant example of …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
In The Day of the Scorpion, Paul Scott has followed up the first volume of The Raj Quartet, The Jewel in the Crown, with the same power and historical insight that makes his novels both captivating and informative. While we meet some new players in the drama, The Laytons, an English family caught in the changing attitudes and sensibilities of the Raj, we are also given an update on familiar characters. In the midst of a national upheaval, we come to know what has happened to Hari Kumar and Ronald Merrick since we saw them last. It is significant that Scott is not only telling us the story of these two men, but that he manages at the same time to tell us the story of the entire nation of India. There is not a hovel or a mansion that he does not expose and no person or class is exempt from his piercing examination. He has an art for seeing into the hearts of people and sometimes even into their souls.The British ruled India for some 200 years, which helps to explain why withdrawing and turning the country over to the Indians themselves was extremely difficult. Some families were invested to the point of feeling that India was more their country than England was. What hampered the procedure even more was the pervasive feeling among the British that the Indians were inferior and incapable of ruling the country competently. LIke surrendering your child to a nanny you are unsure of.One of the Indian characters says: They are consciously or subconsciously aware of weakening their position by friendliness, so this friendliness always has to be on their own guarded terms. If we unwittingly think of it as mutual and go too far they are doubly incensed, first as individuals who feel they have been taken what they call advantage of, secondly as members of a class they fear …
