The Strong Hours is a novel by Maud Diver, published in 1919. The book is set in India and tells the story of two women, one British and one Indian, who form a deep and lasting friendship despite the cultural and societal barriers that separate them. The British woman, Muriel, is a young and privileged wife who is struggling to find her place in the world. The Indian woman, Sita, is a widow who has faced many challenges in her life but remains strong and resilient. The two women meet by chance and are immediately drawn to each other, forming a bond that transcends race, class, and religion. As they navigate the complexities of their friendship, they also confront the larger issues of colonialism and cultural identity in India. The Strong Hours is a powerful and moving novel that explores themes of friendship, love, and the struggle for self-discovery in a complex and changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
