He marries an illiterate tea picker of Nepali origin and they have a son. The book continues with the sons journey through life: the prejudices he faces as an Anglo-Indian in both countries; the events in Belize, Burma, Jamaica and Sri Lanka that affect him; the women in his life; all answering the question, what became of him? Jimmy Pyke is an Anglo-Indian who had a distinguished legal career in London for over 45 years. He has written law books, but The Tea Planters Son is his debut novel at the age of seventy.
