Synopsis
Excerpt from The Doings of Berengaria
To my surprise, Berengaria herself, appar ently unconscious of the heat and the dust, was standing at the top of the veranda steps as I drove up. She was talking to the faithful David, still her right-hand man and confidential manager. Behind him stood two scantily-clad, low-caste natives, who might have been grass cutters, punkah-wallahs, malis, or some other of the usual retinue of outdoor menials.
So glad to see you back again,' said Beren garia, as she gave me her hand and a charming smile. Wonderfully cool, isn't it, for the time of year?'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this collection of short stories, the author explores the humorous and often absurd experiences of Berengaria, a young woman living in turn-of-the-century provincial India. Through her misadventures and observations, Berengaria unveils the quirks and eccentricities of colonial life in India. An avid horsewoman, Berengariaās relentless pursuit of a decent mount, for instance, leads to several comical situations, while her household is often in disarray due to her continually rotating staff of servants. However, the stories also touch on more serious themes such as the difficulties of motherhood in a foreign culture and the challenges of navigating different social worlds and protocols. Witty and engaging, the authorās stories reveal the complexities and charms of the colonial experience, both for the British and for the Indians with whom they shared their lives.
