Visiting Bombay and Delhi with her sociologist husband, a young American wife is overwhelmed by the heat and the crowds. He takes her to the mountains, scoffing at her lack of stamina, then has to watch as the change of climate transforms her and their marriage.

Perceptive, humourous and full of personality, Anita Desai's stories catch the essence of life in India.

I bought this from a Vinnies op shop sometime ago, and had to read it before releasing. The stories all have an Indian influence, and were not quite what I expected, which was good!

Sent as a RABCK - hope the next reader enjoys it too...

Thank you so much ukcanaus. I am finally journaling this lovely surprise. It looks interesting and I love the cover too. Looking forward! xx
