Henderson's Spear by Ronald Wright
Henderson is a man of empire. When he dies, he leaves behind a treasure trove of objects, momentoes of a life well-lived. To his granddaughter he has always been a shadowy figure, until she discovers his diaries which offer a glimpse into a world beneath the polished facade of Victorian England.
Ronald Wright was born in England, educated at Cambridge, and now lives in Canada. His first novel, A Scientific Romance, was the winner of the David Higham Award in 1998. His other books include Time Among the Maya and Stolen Continents, a history of the Americas as seen by the 'discovered', which was chosen as book of the year by both the Independent and the Sunday Times, and won Canada's Gordon Montador Award. He is also the author of Home and Away, an acclaimed collection of travel pieces. His work has been widely translated and anthologised.
