Synopsis

'To live in India and be at peace, one must to a very considerable extent become Indian, and adopt Indian attitudes, habits, beliefs...' 'But how is this possible?' Ruth Prawer Jhabvala asks in a brilliant and candid introduction. 'Should one want to try to become something other than what one is?' Both the European and the Indian characters search for answers to these questions in fifteen acclaimed stories from the author's four previous collections.
