The River

Growing up in 19th century India, Harriet, the eldest of seven siblings, navigates her identity as a British national and daughter of a jute press manager. She forms close bonds with her friends Valerie, a British national, and Melanie, the biracial daughter of a British national and a Hindu woman. The arrival of Captain John, a troubled American veteran with a prosthetic leg, shakes up their small world and tests their friendships.
