Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

4.0

Two stories of women whose journeys to India are separated by half a century. One, Olivia, in the later later colonial period in the 1920s, the other, an unnamed relative in the 1970s, who sets out to find out what happened to Olivia. It says much about colonial attitudes and about how experiences can change someone. A short but satisfying read.
