The novel explores the life and experiences of its central character, who is an Anglo-Indian individual, someone of mixed British and Indian heritage. The story delves into the complexities of identity, cultural clash, and the challenges faced by those who straddle different worlds and cultures within the context of the British Raj in India.Richard Savage was known for his works that often touched on themes related to British colonialism and the cultural interactions and conflicts that arose during this period. "A Fascinating Traitor" is a product of its time and reflects the interest in and fascination with stories set in colonial India.While Richard Savage's works may not be as widely read today as some other classic novels, they provide historical and cultural insights into the British colonial experience in India and the issues related to identity and belonging in such a context.
