The end of the Raj amid Partition

Set against the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, this final volume of Paul Scott’s Raj Quartet brings the British departure into focus as communal violence intensifies. The description links that political upheaval with a romance and with the divided loyalties of British characters facing whether to leave, retreat, or remain in India. Its historical frame gives the personal conflict a wider context: the end of colonial rule and the consequences of division.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction set during the final days of British rule in India.
  • Those seeking a novel that connects a romance with the upheaval of Partition.
  • Readers following the concluding volume of Paul Scott’s Raj Quartet.

Book overview

The powerful, dramatic final volume of Paul Scott's classic account of the last days of British rule in India.

After exploiting India's divisions for years, the British depart in such haste that no one is prepared for the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1947. The twilight of the raj turns bloody. Against the backdrop of the violent partition of India and Pakistan, A Division of the Spoils illuminates one last bittersweet romance, revealing the divided loyalties of the British as they flee, retreat from, or cling to India.
