A Lion in the Way

A Lion in the Way is the story of Annerley’s friendship with two contemporaries whose characters and personalities differed widely from her own: the temperamental and quick-tempered Shareen Prebdel, daughter of wealthy Indian parents—and Moira Fenwick, a difficult and self-willed girl whose parents had never concerned themselves with her well-being. It is also the story of Annerley’s development from Childhood to womanhood, and her marriage. Above all it is the story of India, of the people’s fight for independence and the dawning of the end of British rule.

Note: This story, while fiction, is partly biographical of the early life and experiences of Elizabeth Cadell.
