'A lovely and compelling account of what India meant to the British between 1900 and 1947.. One of the Best' The Times 'Both a guide and an entertaining companion ... humour, drama and touches of regret fill its pages' Mail on Sunday 'One of the most enjoyable books I have read ... by turns informative, funny and deeply touching. It is an authentic record of the survivors of British India ... a book which takes on where Kipling left off' Antonia Fraser
