Product Description

4:teens
'a very moving and personal reminiscence...will touch anyone's heart while also teaching readers about Indian traditions and culture

Review
'A timely memoir of her Anglo-Indian childhood which deepens the understanding of her novels . . . a unique record of dual heritage.' (The Times )

'Her story provides a fascinating - and not always comfortable - insight into the life of a family straddling two powerfully contrasting cultures.' (The Guardian )

'...offers an enlightening, mixed-race slant on Indian independence as well as an account of a pre-TV, all-skipping 1940s childhood. The contrast between grey, cabbage-scented England and the vibrant sensuality of India is revealing as well.' (The Independent )

'evocative and absorbing' (Writing Magazine, February-March 2003 )

'a very moving and personal reminiscence...Filled with the author's own delightful and poignant photos, this Anglo-Indian story will touch anyone's heart while also teaching readers about Indian traditions and culture.' (4:teens, April 2003 )

'a hilarious and informative account...It is something many mixed race children will be able to identify with.' (The Voice )

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous Memories of a Bygone Age, 8 Jul 2009
By Mr. B. Porter "Whitechapel Jack" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Out of India (Hardcover)
My own late Mother having been Anglo Indian, I was brought up on stories of her life in early twentieth century India. Jamila Gavin's book, though set a little later in the century, succeeded in bringing to life a time perhaps forgotten by many yet remembered with affection and nostalgia by those fortunate to have lived through and witnessed some of the greatest moments in the history of this wonderful country. Told with wit, charm, and a fondness for her subject that betrays her love of both India and her adopted England, Jamil Gavin succeeds in captivating the reader and backs up her narrative with a wonderful selection of snapshots of her time in the land that was once the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the British Empire. Both teenagers and adults will find something of interest in this excellent book!
