In 1757, when Thomas Rose meets Ling, she's looking for her beloved horse Belladonna. Painter/anatomist George Stubbs hires Thomas and recommends Ling for a position at the great house where Belladonna was sold. Finn conveys the era and the extraordinary nature of her protagonists through compelling, intricately configured prose.

YA
Young painter Anila travels up the Ganga River with an Englishman and his companions searching for a new bird species. Along the way, she finds news of her long-lost father. Flashback chapters shed light on Anila's past. While the reason for Anila's father's absence is dubious, her metaphorical journey of self-discovery and the exquisite rendering of colonial-era Calcutta are entrancing. Glos.
