註釋This autobiography is about a family growing up under the Raj at a time when old ideas of Empire were shifting; it is also the story of older generations of the family, old India hands, from the eighteenth century, living and working in a different India and being dazzled by the richness and complexity of the culture of this strange country they'd gone out to meet, and the beauty of its landscapes. Reviewing Nora Naish's novel 'The Magistrate's Tale' in the Evening Standard, A N Wilson described the heroine as a marvellous creation, an archetypal English figure.. In 'Passage From the Raj' the author describes one of the archetypal English experiences of Empire as it faded, the special links with India, and the long lingering spell cast by her on the English imagination.
