An unsettling and gripping historical novel from the author of In the Cut.
One Last Look is told through the voice of Eleanor who in 1836, with her sister, is accompanying her brother on his posting to India to be the Governor General. On arrival she is forced to confront the strange physical, psychological and political circumstances of their colonial life. Then gradually, surrounded by a constant entourage of servants, overwhelmed by heat and disease she uncovers the real and disturbing truth of how her brother and sister are reacting to their new world. As tensions grow both politically and sexually, it is clear that Eleanor's vision of this land and herself will be utterly transformed.
