Captivating stories that launched Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's career spanning twenty books and multiple awards, including the Booker Prize and a MacArthur Fellowship
This volume of stories, selected by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala from her own early work, represents the essence of her Indian experience. Bearing Jhabvala's hallmark of balance, subtlety, wry humor, and beauty, these stories present characters that prove to be as vulnerable to the contradictions and oppressions of the human heart as to those of India itself.
