Description

Indian Summer. A Mem-sahib in India and Sind by April Swayne-Thomas. 'Indian Summer is a witty and affectionate evocation in pictures and letters of the last days of the British Raj and of the early years after the independence that divided India into several parts. For eight years during and after the Second World War India was April Swayne-Thomas's second home. There, usually with her husband, Geoffrey, but sometimes alone when travelling to paint murals, she came to love the great country; but not uncritically. Readers of this book will find that she has hard things to say about poverty, ignorance, superstition and the later enmity that grew between different parts of the population. Nor does she gloss over the shortcomings of the less sensitive members of her own community. There is much more than that. Wherever they went April and Geoffrey made friends.
