...done with Scott's skill, stirs an obvious question: How many novels must be written about the same 15 or 20 characters, moving through the same set of events? "At most, one," is the generous guess. Indeed, a single incident is the work's focus: the gang rape of a young Englishwoman, Daphne Manners, who is attacked by Indians in the Bibighar Gardens in Mayapore in 1942.

...City. They say you get happy roles on a soap opera-forget it. If you're really a happy character, you're going to be fired or killed or something's going to happen." Escapism? Hardly. Unless, of course, escapism takes in such topics as murder, rape, insanity, adultery and terminal illness, which are the soaps' daily fare (among the remaining unmentionables are incest and homosexuality...
