Having withdrawn himself from active politics, Mahatma Gandhi is in an ashram immersed in what he considers the most important undertaking of his life - the creation of a community that is wholly dedicated to the highest standards of self-discipline, tolerance, and austerity." "Into into this world comes Madeleine, the daughter of a British admiral. She has set her heart on being Gandhi's greatest disciple."
