About the Book

This readable and highly diverting tale describes the life of a quite ordinary housewife suddenly finding herself thrust into Le Corps Diplomatique, with a posting in India. Her struggles to come to terms with life on the subcontinent and her frequent fallings from grace are described with a disarming candour.

Through it all, the reader discovers a strangely intimate view of this ancient, vast and diverse country as the author leads us from the Himalayas eternal snows to the tropical beaches of Trivandrum.




About the Author

Winifred Denny has spent a large part of her life on the fringes of authorship. An early career as a journalist and advertising copywriter was interrupted by marriage and the arrival of five children. Despite the demands of a full-time mother, she still managed to edit a book, and write innumerable newsletters, as a volunteer for various organizations. She now lives in Victoria, British Columbia, with her husband, Douglas, and an engaging multi-poo called Edward.
