Angel: A Sketch In Indian Ink is a novel written by Bithia Mary Croker and first published in 1901. The story is set in India during the British Raj and follows the life of Angel, a young girl who is half-Indian and half-English. Angel's mother was an Indian woman who died when Angel was young, leaving her in the care of her English father.As Angel grows up, she struggles to find her place in society. She is not fully accepted by the English community because of her Indian heritage, and she is not fully accepted by the Indian community because of her English upbringing. Despite this, Angel is determined to make a life for herself and to find happiness.The novel explores themes of identity, race, and class, as well as the complex relationships between the British and Indian communities during the colonial period. It also touches on the role of women in society and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated world.Overall, Angel: A Sketch In Indian Ink is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on life in India during the British Raj. Croker's vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of India bring the story to life, and her nuanced portrayal of Angel and the other characters make them feel like real people with real struggles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
