Her Own People is a novel written by B.M. Croker set in colonial India during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of an Englishwoman named Ethel Lancaster who is married to a British officer, Captain Richard Lancaster. Ethel is a woman of strong character and is not content with the traditional role of a British wife in India. She is determined to make a difference in the lives of the Indian people and becomes involved in various social and charitable activities. However, her efforts are met with resistance from her husband and the other British officers who view her actions as inappropriate and interfering with their way of life. Ethel's relationship with her husband becomes strained as she becomes more involved in the Indian community and begins to question the British colonial rule. The novel also explores the complex relationships between the British and Indian communities, highlighting the cultural differences and tensions that exist between them. Ethel's interactions with the Indian characters in the novel, such as her loyal servant, Ganesh, and the Indian doctor, Dr. Raman, provide a glimpse into the lives of the Indian people and the struggles they face under British rule. Overall, Her Own People is a thought-provoking novel that raises important questions about colonialism, cultural identity, and the role of women in society. Croker's vivid descriptions of life in colonial India and her nuanced portrayal of the characters make this novel a compelling read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
