Simon says: Hepatitis and the 1940s Raj (rule) of India didn't quite agree with author Paul Scott, then an officer in the British Indian Army. Later in life, he fondly returned to the country, known to many Brits as the jewel in Britain's crown, to begin his masterpiece. Known collectively as The Raj Quartet, it includes The Jewel in the Crown, Day of the Scorpion, The Towers of Silence, and Division of the Spoils.
