Description
The Diary of a Civilian’s Wife in India offers a rare and candid perspective on British colonial life in India during the late Victorian era. Written between 1877 and 1882, this account captures the daily experiences, observations, and reflections of a woman living within the colonial administration.
Through detailed entries, the author provides valuable insights into the social customs, domestic arrangements, and cultural encounters that characterized British civilian life in India.
