Imagine being the eleventh child in a family? Would expectations rest on your shoulders or would you struggle to be seen? Events, spread across two continents, weave the tapestry of James Harrison Veevers' life. Raised in the traditions of a middle-class English family, he emerges into adulthood under the shadow of his father's expectations but without a clear direction. Boldly, he steps into East Asia to find his purpose, or perhaps to escape; first emigrating to Ceylon, then travelling north to Bombay. He immerses himself there during a period of rapid innovation. From steadfast rules of Victorian England to chaotic freedom in India, the Crown Jewel of the Empire, James strives to find the balance between his artistic nature and his need to achieve. Exchanging pastoral views, dingy factories, and crushing poverty during the Industrial Revolution in Lancashire for the exotic culture of Asia, James gathers the threads of his life, creating tightly knotted experiences. Can he really fit his hopes and dreams into this world or is James just intoxicated by the splendour and rapid pace of advancing Victorian architecture and engineering.
If you love stories rich with description and adventure, share the journey with James as he travels from his home from the industrialized factories in England to the exotic world of India.
