From a half-hour conversation at a party, between the wife of an English colonel and a young Indian judge educated in England, sprang this lifelong correspondence. It is a first-hand record of the last days of the Raj and a personal account of the life of an Indian caught between two cultures.

 "Hines writes lovingly and convincingly about rural Texas, creating a strong sense of place and some wonderfully complex characters."--Publishers Weekly  Set on the Blackland prairie of Texas in the early 1950s, Square Dance is the story of Homer Dillard, a cantankerous old man, and his eleven-year-old precocious and Bible-toting granddaughter, Gemma. They live together on a tumbledown chicken farm and sell eggs door to door in the nearby small town of Twilight. Dillard is eighty years old, left by his wife and by his daughter, Gemma's mother. Both have been abandoned, and their grudging loyalty to each other is at once fierce and touching. Incensed by Dillard's cussedness, Gemma finally packs up out of moral indignation and strikes off for the supposed glamour of Fort Worth, where her estranged mother lives a life of tawdry failure as a hairdresser. So begins Gemma's remarkable journey, and in telling it Alan Hines has created a rich, touching, and funny novel about the pains of growing up and growing old.
