註釋

A collection of letters Indira Gandhi wrote to Dorothy Norman, a distinguished author, editor, and photographer. The two women first met when Indira accompanied her father to the United States in 1949. They struck up a friendship that was to last for three and a half decades until Indira's tragic death in l984. Here is Mrs. Gandhi's story about her growth from a shy young woman, her father's confidante, into a fearless, energetic, controversial political figure, a leader of more than 700 million people. The process was at once exhilarating and painful, with all shades of life in between. The responsibility, the fatigue, the feeling of "imprisonment" and "loneliness" are overwhelming at times as is the desire to be alone, to reflect, to write, or catch a glimpse of yellow blooming daffodils.
