His friends weren’t sending him any letters at all, but that wasn’t the worst of it, no, because they weren’t even responding to the letters that he was sending to them as often as he could with Hedwig and he felt like he was going out of his mind with the overwhelming sense of abandonment, the cruel loss of their support coupled with the torment that he suffered with every single night. It was even affecting him when he was awake now and he walked around like a mindless zombie most of the time. Things couldn’t carry on like this, he wasn’t going to last.

Part 1 of The Tainted is a historical tale, but part 2 is a romance. This is not usually my choice of reading, but Madhavan’s characters are so compelling that I was drawn into the love triangle she portrays and found myself falling for May, an Anglo-Indian beauty like her grandmother Rose (don’t tell my wife). While the love story is the engine of the plot, Madhavan has much to say about India in 1982 and the ongoing troubles of the Anglo-Indians, who are not white enough for some and not dark enough for others. Again, the contrast between them and the Anglo-Irish is drawn. Although the modern Anglo-Irish may feel alienated, that is because, as the former ruling class, they find it hard to find a place in democratic Ireland; the Anglo-Indians were always on the margins.There are many diverse influences on the way that English is used across the world today.
