			        		&quot;An honest, pacey portrayal of empire-building at a critical juncture in the Great Game...a fascinating and very surprising read.&#x201D;&#x2014;Financial Times &#x201C;Hillsbery&#x2019;s exploration of what happened to his British uncle who went to India in 1841, never to return, makes achingly vivid how difficult it was to escape one&#x2019;s preordained class and societal expectations in Victorian England&#x2026; Great details abound&#x2026; Marvelous insights into the British in India, along with a glimpse into gay life. This has a narrative sweep reminiscent of Christopher Hibbert&#x2019;s social histories.&#x201D; &#x2013;BOOKLIST **Starred Review** &#x201C;There are travelers who can&#x2019;t write and writers who can&#x2019;t travel. Fortunately for his readers, Kief Hillsbery can do both. Part travelogue, part family memoir,&#xA0;Empire Made is a fine and moving tale, sensitively explored and beautifully written.&#x201D; &#x2014;Justin Marozzi, author of&#xA0;Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood
