Staying On – Paul Scott (Vintage Paperback)
Winner of the 1977 Booker Prize, this poignant and beautifully crafted novel follows Tusker and Lucy Smalley, the last British residents of a hill station in post-independence India. With wit, tenderness, and unflinching honesty, Paul Scott explores themes of aging, displacement, and the fading echoes of empire.
A companion piece to Scott's acclaimed Raj Quartet, Staying On stands alone as a masterful character study and a meditation on loyalty, memory, and the passage of time.
