James Scott Savory
No Customer Reviews
From England to exotic India, under the powerful Honourable East India Company, this is the journey of one man - James Scott Savory. Commencing his career in India on the Madras Establishment as an 18-year-old writer, he rose to become a senior merchant and criminal judge presiding over and investigating scandalous frauds for one of history's greatest companies. With success came love, marriage and children to an Indian "princess", the sense of abandonment for generations and suspicions of bigamy when he returned to England to marry an old love, never to return to India and his family again. Tragedy struck when the woman he had left India, his career and family for, dies in childbirth. This was followed by a return to his roots in Calne, Wiltshire, and a third marriage to a woman he would spend the rest of his privileged life with on his Company pension while his first wife and children remained in India.
