About this listen

India, 1857 - the year of the Great Mutiny, when Muslim soldiers turned in bloody rebellion on their British overlords. This time of convulsion is the subject of The Siege of Krishnapur, widely considered to the one of the finest British novels of the last 50 years. A witty and individual take on the many traditions and follies of Empire, it is also a gripping account of survival under siege, illuminating how extreme conditions can influence and affect people's behaviour and the human spirit.

Abridged

This is an abridged version of J.G Farrell’s novel, so you will be missing a few key pieces of the text. If you are listening to this book for the sake of enjoyment, it is still lovely, and gets the point across, but if you are a fan of Farrell’s work, or are studying The Siege for class, I would suggest finding a different source.
