What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the complex interplay of themes in 'Indian Ink', particularly the exploration of the Indo-British relationship during colonial India. Many commend Stoppard's characterizations and ability to blend past and present narratives, highlighting the emotional depth of the story. However, some feel it lacks the brilliance of his other works and may be a bit lengthy. Overall, it is viewed as a thoughtful and engaging piece worth experiencing.
Complex characters Engaging narrative Thought-provoking themes Lacks Stoppard's usual brilliance
Synopsis
Flora Crewe, a young poet travelling in India in 1930, has her portrait painted by a local artist.
More than fifty years later, the artist's son visits Flor'as sister in London while her would-be biographer is following a cold trail in India.
The alternation of place and period in Tom Stoppard's new play (based on his radio play In The Native State
) makes for a rich and moving exploration of intimate lives set against one of the great shafts of history, the emergence of the Indian subcontinent from the grip of Europe.
