TWO UNDER THE INDIAN SUN
By Jon Godden & Rumer Godden
Synopsis
In 1914, following the outbreak of war, two small sisters left London to return to India and their home in East Bengal. This book is their remembrance of the five years that followed, in the village of Narayangunj - where there father worked as a steamship agent - on a river that feeds the great Brahmaputa. Jon and Rumer Godden capture all the colour, sound and smell of exotic India, but especially they bring to life again the people of every kind - of place, custom and religion - and as children they were befriended by all. This book is Imperial India remembered, seen through the honesty and clarity of children's eyes.
