It is 1918, six months after the end of World War I, and Rosalind awaits
the return of her father from the war. While it is common practice for
British children in India to be packed off to boarding school at the age
of 6, Rosalind is unusual because she lives and is schooled in India
because her mother insists. The heart of this penetrating story is
Rosalind's coming of age set against the hardship of life for the Indian
people, Rosalind's daily life in India, the rise of Ghandi and
Rosalind's coming to make her own decisions and become her own person.
