Of Marriageable Age

Of Marriageable Age follows three people across three decades and three continents, in a story of intertwined dramas and mysterious legacies, set against the traditional customs of an ancient culture. Nat, plucked from an orphanage in rural India, grows up with a reticent English doctor, never knowing who he really is. Swinging London of the Sixties provides a welcome diversion - but one day he must return home. Savitri is the cook's daughter in an upper-class British household in pre-war Madras. She has always loved David, the young master - but their relationship is doomed from the beginning. Saroj, youngest daughter of an authoritarian Hindu lawyer in Georgetown, British Guiana, rebels against the narrow boundaries of her culture. Matters come to a head when her father arranges a marriage for her. It is time to act... character is destiny.
