The pagoda tree
Scobie, Claire2017
Book
Tamil Nadu, southern India, 1765. Young Maya plays among the towering granite temples in the ancient city of Tanjore. Like her mother before her, she is destined to become a devadasi, a dancer for the temple. She is instructed in dance, the mystical arts and lovemaking. It is expected she will be chosen as a courtesan for the prince himself. But as Maya comes of age, India is on the cusp of change and British dominance has risen to new heights. Far from home, the East India Company is acting like a country in its own right and the British troops are more of a rabble than the King's army. The prince is losing his power and the city is sliding into war.
