Through a series of letters written by an artist to his mother in England, the author paints a vivid picture of domestic arrangements, social hierarchies, and cultural interactions within the Anglo-Indian community.
Colesworthey Grant’s detailed observations reveal the complexities of maintaining English customs and traditions in an Indian setting, while navigating the challenges and peculiarities of colonial domestic life.
