Sophy Leigh and Douglas Shafto come to Burma on the same ship in 1912. They come for different reasons. Through them, we learn about British India in the time between 1912 and 1914, just before WWI.
Academics view Bithia Mary Croker as one of the best authors who wrote about British India.
Note: This book is a product of its times. Therefore, some of the views which are expressed are different from today's. (Summary by Stav Nisser)
