Owindia is a novel written by Charlotte Selina Bompas. The story is set in India during the early 1900s and follows the life of a young woman named Owindia. She is the daughter of a British colonel and an Indian mother, and she struggles to find her place in a society that is divided by race and class. Owindia is a strong and intelligent character, and she is determined to break free from the constraints of her upbringing. She falls in love with a young Indian man named Rama, but their relationship is met with resistance from both their families and their communities. Owindia must navigate the complexities of her identity and the prejudices of those around her in order to find happiness and fulfillment in her life. The novel explores themes of identity, love, and the clash of cultures in a vivid and compelling way.When the first man entered the lodge it could not have been more than a few seconds after the firing of the fatal shot, for Michel was still standing, gun in hand, and his poor wife sighing forth the last few breathings of her sad and troubled life. She had kept her word, and met her death without one cry or expostulation! It might have been heard from far, that groan of horror and dismay which sprung spontaneous from the one first witnessing the ghastly scene, and then from the whole of the assembled Indians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
