Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
The elusive nature of life in India, as seen through the eyes of two British women, writing diaries which are cleverly intertwined. Olivia, the young wife of a British official, discovers a deeper side of herself when she meets an Indian Nawab. Fifty years later, the experiences of another young English woman in India echo those of her predecessor. A love story, and a thought-provoking look at India.
(Pamela Jaunin - bwl 34 April 2006 )
