 | Bhowani Junction is primarily narrated in the first person by Victoria Jones, the daughter of an Anglo-Indian railway family. |
| Nonetheless, Bhowani Junction is by and large successful both in presenting an active and self-directed female protagonist and in acknowledging the constraints which shape the life of an Anglo-Indian woman. |
| Even though Bhowani Junction is written by a British author, it is reasonable for his Anglo-Indian characters to "sum up" their own melancholy feelings--about not knowing who they are, not knowing where they belong, and having been led by their British overlords down a path toward self-loathing--a path paved with ugly class, race and color-consciousness. |
