Calcutta, 1959... a time when the city's social and cultural mosaic included Indians, the British and Anglo-Indians, who belonged to neither ommunity but claimed kinship with the English. The Ryans are a typical middle- class Anglo- Indian family. The head of the family, Robert, a senior executive with a managing agency, has dreams of going 'home' to England as soon as he can. His wife, the beautiful Grace, however, is unsure about leaving her comfortable life in india. Their two daughters, Shirley and Paddy, are meanwhile discovering new emotions and relationships which will make them cross invisible but inflexible boundaries.

Calcutta Exile Bunny Suraiya 9789350291573 Books Reviews
Having being born in Kolkata, I look for books which gives me information on what India was like in the late 50's early '60s. This book did not disappoint. In fact I recognized places that my parents mentioned, as well as matched character traits in this story to some of my very own relatives. I left when I was 9 years old. This book gave me the missing background that I love to read about, Thank you highly recommend this book. Ms. Suraiya, kudos to you. Excellent!!!
