Summary "Angel: A Sketch in Indian Ink" by B. M. Croker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Angel Gascoigne, who is depicted as neglected and forlorn, living in a military cantonment in British India. As her life unfolds amid challenging family dynamics, financial struggles, and societal expectations, the narrative delves into themes of loss, desire for love, and the innocence of childhood. The opening of the novel introduces us to the oppressive environment of Ramghur as the hot season sets in. It vividly describes the desolate surroundings, focusing on Angel’s plight as she watches others from her neglected home. The reader learns about her strained relationship with her stepfather, Colonel Wilkinson, and her strong affection for her cousin, Philip Gascoigne, who attempts to bring a glimmer of happiness into her dark world. Through interactions with other characters, we see the stark contrasts in Angel’s life, highlighting her longing for acceptance and affection amid a reality filled with disregard and indifference.
