Share

Meet Tony – compassionate and insatiably curious, with a unique perspective on every scene he encounters. Kidnapped and transported to the New World after traveling from the coast of India to the teeming streets of London, young Tony finds himself indentured on a Virginia tobacco plantation. Alone and afraid, Tony longs for home, and envisions a life after servitude full of adventure and learning.

Set largely during the early days of English colonization in Virginia, Brinda Charry’s The East Indian gives authentic voice to an otherwise unknown historical figure and brings his world to vivid life.
