Staying On

Paul Scott


Purchase this title at B&N

I had always stayed away from this kind of Anglo-Indian nostalgia but something tempted me to pick up Staying On and I can now say I have discovered what I think is just about the Perfect Novel. Not much of a "discovery" since it won the Booker Prize back in the 1970s. But, still, not many books have left me feeling as utterly satisfied as this one.
