Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Six Women" by Victoria Cross is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of love, desire, and complex relationships, particularly through the experiences of the central character, Hamilton, whose journey through passion and disillusionment unfolds against the backdrop of colonial India. At the start of the novel, Hamilton is depicted as a handsome yet despondent civil servant grappling with the aftermath of a failed marriage that has left him emotionally drained. As he wanders through the streets, seeking respite from his woes, he unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a performance featuring dancers from the Deccan. The story introduces Saidie, a strikingly beautiful dancer who immediately captivates Hamilton's attention and sparks an awakening within him. The opening scenes highlight Hamilton's internal struggles with his past and set the stage for a transformational relationship that challenges societal norms, ultimately leading to significant changes in both their lives.
