Beschreibung

The stories, characters, situations, portrayals, dialogues are fresh, rich and funny. The most light and funny situations are explained in such a rich language that they seem not so ordinary and indeed exceptional. It beautifully highlights the eccentricities of the so to believe rich, cultured and polished British class in India and their funny interactions with the native population. The hope, beliefs, simplicity, faith and superstitions of the natives coupled with brute, cluelessness, straight jacket, heavy handedness of the British creates tongue in cheek humor – guaranteed to generate a lot of wonder, sighs, laughs and giggles.
