Two Under the Indian Sun

In 1914, following the outbreak of war, sisters John and Rumer Godden left London to return to their home in East Bengal. Two Under the Indian Sun is the story of the five years that followed, in the village of Narayangunj - on a bustling river that feeds the great Brahmaputra. Jon and Rumer Godden capture all the colors, sounds, and scents of exotic India, and brig to life again the people who befriended them. Two Under the Indian Sun is Imperial India remembered, seen with the honesty and clarity of children's eyes.
