9781727463040: Juliet's Letters From India

Synopsis

This is the story, in her own words, of Juliet, a young Englishwoman, and her life in India. A few short weeks after completing her college training in England as a teacher of art and crafts, she had her 21st birthday on August 10, 1963 and a week later married a young clergyman, Dan O’Connor. Three weeks later, they set sail for India, where they made their home, raised a family and lived until 1972. With the end of the British Raj and the coming of Indian independence in 1947, it was unusual for people from the United Kingdom to settle for any length of time in India. A new cohort of experts of one sort and another did appear, but rarely stayed for more than months at a time. Only a very few continued to come and live in India, and most of these were missionaries. Among them were Juliet and Dan, recruited for work in Delhi, the capital. Both would be teachers, Juliet at Queen Mary’s School and Dan at St. Stephen’s College in the University of Delhi.
