Interesting book, that I came across in my friend's house. I was explaining about Robert Clive to someone, And later that afternoon I come across a book. It has parts about him. I'm familiar with most of the history, however –– It was good to see through the lives of British Women, Anglo-Indian society.

I would recommend this to someone who is travelling, and wants a light reading on British India.
