Google Books (Indiana University)  a"The Potter's Thumb" by Flora Annie Webster Steel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores themes of colonial India through the interactions of several characters, including Englishmen George Keene and Dan Fitzgerald, who are stationed at a desolate place called Hodinuggur. The narrative delves into the cultural contrasts and personal relationships that arise between the British and the local inhabitants, highlighting issues of identity, duty, and the effects of imperialism.  The opening of the novel introduces us to the harsh realities of life in Hodinuggur as the characters encounter a dying child, a situation that evokes various reactions from the British men observing the scene. Dan Fitzgerald is characterized by his impulsive imagination, while his companion, George Keene, struggles to comprehend the dynamics of his new environment. Conversations hint at deeper issues with the local populace, particularly regarding the unexpected complexities surrounding a potter's craft and a mysterious potter's daughter. These initial interactions set the stage for exploring personal and cultural conflicts throughout the wider narrative.
