Legends meet reality in the hills of India
1951 … An unseen spectre terrorizes the areas around Darjeeling’s scenic tea plantations. As the events unfold, Michael and Sarah Patterson, British owners of the thriving Silver Glade plantation, find their lives
intricately enmeshed with all of it, and with the frightening figure of a Naga sadhu whom Michael glimpses on a dark night.
The sleepy little town nestled in the hills of north-east India wakes up to a number of murky incidents – a society lady’s murder, the appearance of a godman, the search for an elusive predator, the blossoming love between a Hindu and a Christian, and the furtive attraction between Sarah and her husband’s best friend, Sanjay Kapoor, who is also the manager of the plantation – all of which come together in a riveting climax.
Beautifully capturing the essence of the times, Curse of the Godman weaves together romance and deceit, mysticism and bigotry to bring to life the magic of the hills and tell an enthralling story.
