Autumn 1928. Three young women are on their way to India, each with a new life in mind.

Rose, a beautiful but naïve bride-to-be, is anxious about leaving her family and marrying a man she hardly knows.

Victoria, her bridesmaid couldn't be happier to get away from her overbearing mother, and is determined to find herself a husband.

And Viva, their inexperienced chaperone, is in search of the India of her childhood, ghosts from the past and freedom.

Each of them has their own reason for leaving their homeland but the hopes and secrets they carry can do little to prepare them for what lies ahead in India... 20th Century Classics Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Romance Feel-Good

A beautifully written story about another time and place. The characters developed and changed as they do over time and with experiences. Enriching phrases and poems were woven through the text

Beautiful

Truly memorable, shedding a new light on India for me.. Sadly one can only write a book like this with real knowledge of the country and its people. Three young English women, very different, growing into adulthood. A lovely story, full of life. Easy to read or hear.

Wonderful book, beautifully read

I loved this book, found it a varied listen, covering the subject of India from an empire point of view, would love to listen to similar titles. Wonderful story, love the connection to India under the Raj

loved it! it made me cry at the end. so many stories within the story. I was so much in the story with fear at what guy would do next and who was in love with who. the narrator was brilliant adding the Indian English with the right emphasis on words as an Indian would speak. I loved it.
