(Flora Annie) Voices in the Night Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books (Stanford University Libraries) "Voices in the Night" by Flora Annie Steel is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a richly layered setting of colonial India, where the lives of Anglo-Indians and native characters intertwine amidst the tensions of a changing society. Central to the storyline are characters like Jack Raymond, a horse racer, and Lesley Drummond, a governess, who navigate the complexities of their environment while engaging with the cultural dynamics at play. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to a fog-covered Nushapore as the New Year dawns, capturing the contrasting realities of life in colonial India. As day breaks, the atmosphere is set with evocative descriptions of the fog and the bustling sounds of life beneath the grey shroud. The scene quickly shifts to a racecourse, where young Jerry Arbuthnot interacts with adults while expressing his childlike wonder about horse racing. The conversation delves into topics ranging from betting to social status, and we see hints of character relationships and societal roles emerging. This initial exposition sets the stage for deeper explorations of identity, culture, and the impacts of colonial rule within the narrative.
