In the Spring of 1857, with India on the brink of a violent and bloody mutiny, Krishnapur is a remote town on the vast North Indian plain. For the British there, life is orderly and genteel.

Then the sepoys at the nearest military cantonment rise in revolt and the British community retreats with shock into the Residency. They prepare to fight for their lives with what weapons they can muster. As food and ammunition grow short, the Residency, its defences battered by shot and shell and eroded by the rains, becomes ever more vulnerable. The Siege of Krishnapur is a modern classic of narrative excitement that also digs deep to explore some fundamental questions of civilisation and life.

“Sam Dastor’s inspired delivery of the 1973 Booker Prize-winning novel, a brilliant black comedy set during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857, is available as a download only. Dastor, who was born in India, delivers a brisk, uncomplicated Indian accent for the few actual natives in this book. His great triumph, however, lies in his general narration, which expresses the book’s terrific irony at the contrast between British propriety and the chaotic mess these people find themselves in. When the voices of individual characters pipe up, they are uniquely their own. Among them are the Magistrate, whose clipped tones most certainly do “not invite debate,” and the Padre, whose voice is perfectly balanced between donnishness and clerical sing-song.” (Washington Post Book World)
