Orwell draws on his years of experience in India to tell this story of the waning days of British imperialism. A handful of Englishmen living in a settlement in Burma congregate in the European Club, drink whiskey, and argue over an impending order to admit a token Asian.
A bittersweet tale about relationships with a background of British colonialism. The characters weren't particularly likeable in this book which took a lot away from how I rated it, almost as if at points I didn't care what happened to most of the characters (apart from the doctor, the doctor is innocent in this)
