Darling Alicia by Vernee Samuel
This is an edited collection of love letters written in 1966-67 between Stephen Merrett, a young British academic based in Delhi and Alicia Kaner, an Argentinian student. The couple begin corresponding as friends and the reader is swept along as they flirt, fight and fall in love on the page. The tension of whether their romance will succeed is maintained until the final pages and their letters are a delight to read; witty and perceptive about politics, culture and family life in India, Argentina and Britain.
So full of love, truth and wit - Sir Derek Jacobi
Stephen Merrett was born in the East End of London in 1939 and attended Leyton County High School where his best friend was Derek Jacobi. He studied economics at the Universities of Bristol and Oxford, the first member of his family ever to go to university. In 1964 he accepted a research post in the economics of education in Buenos Aires and since that time has worked as a research economist in many parts of the world, in applied fields, particularly the economics of education, of housing, and of water resource management.
