The Southern Temple family has spent the years after the Civil War mourning the death of their golden boy, killed by a Union officer. His young widow, Judith, feels like a hypocrite, since she only knew him a few weeks and has since realised that she didn't actually love him. Throckmorton and his son return to the neighbourhood, to be shunned by most of the neighbours, who can't forget that Throckmorton fought against the South during the War. But he was a close friend of the Temples before the War and soon is accepted by the family, especially after he becomes the fiancé of young Jacqueline Temple. But events don't unfold as planned.

The West has become obsessed with Muslims, constantly classifying them as either 'moderate' or 'extreme'. Reacting against this dehumanising tendency, Jeremy Seabrook and Imran Ahmed Siddiqui show us the daily life of poor Muslims in India and sheds light on what lies behind India's 'economic miracle'. The authors examine life in Muslim communities in Kolkata, home to some of the most disadvantaged people in India, giving a voice to their views, values and feelings. We see that Muslims are no different from those of other faiths - work, family and survival are the overwhelming preoccupations of the vast majority. Although most are observant in their religion, there is no trace of the malevolence or poverty-fuelled extremism attributed to them. This enlightening and elegantly written book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of development and anyone who wants a more realistic picture of Muslim life and modern India.
