I should add that one aspect of the novel that certainly would interest me is the idea of being caught in a conflict of two cultures.
How Many Miles To Babylon, an Irish novel by Jennifer Johnston deals with a similar concept. In that case the conflict centres around the clash between the world of the Anglo-Irish ascendency and the lower classes who support Irish Republican values. Jennifer Johnston focuses that theme through the relationships of the central character to his mother, his father, and his Republican friend. It is set during the First World War.
