Summary "A Bottle in the Smoke: A Tale of Anglo-Indian Life" by Janet Milne Rae is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Hester Rayner, a young English lady who recently married and moved to Madras, India, where she navigates the complexities of her new life and the social dynamics of Anglo-Indian society. The book explores themes of identity, prejudice, and cultural intersections as Hester contemplates her place in this exotic yet challenging environment. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Hester as she adjusts to her life in Madras, reflecting on her happiness and occasional feelings of being an outsider. She receives a letter from her brother informing her of the arrival of Mark Cheveril, a childhood friend, who is of mixed heritage. This news elicits mixed emotions from her husband, Alfred Rayner, who harbors prejudiced views towards individuals of Indian descent. The opening chapters set the stage for potential conflicts regarding class, race, and identity within the context of colonial society, with Hester caught between her admiration for Mark and her husband's biases.
