Burmese Days describes corruption and imperial bigotry in a society where,
'after all, natives were natives'. When Flory, a white timber merchant,
befriends Indian Dr Veraswami, he defies this orthodoxy. The doctor is in
danger: U Po Kyin, a corrupt magistrate, is plotting his downfall. The only
thing that can save him is membership of the all-white Club, and Flory can
help. Flory's life is changed further by the arrival of beautiful Elizabeth
Lackersteen from Paris, who offers an escape from loneliness and the 'lie' of
colonial life.
