Travels with the Sahib - Diary of a Not-Quite-Mad-Enough Foreign Service Wife

This readable and highly diverting tale describes the life of a quite ordinary housewife suddenly finding herself thrust into Le Corps Diplomatique, with a posting in India. Her struggles to come to terms with life on the subcontinent and her frequent fallings from grace are described with a disarming candour.

Through it all, the reader discovers a strangely intimate view of this ancient, vast and diverse country as the author leads us from the Himalayas eternal snows to the tropical beaches of Trivandrum.
