The Road from Mandalay: Journeys of an Anglo-Indian Family

What happens to a family when there is an imminent invasion of Burma? What was life like in the early days of Mandalay and Agra? How did an Anglo-Indian family live in the 1940's under constant threat from across the borders of the British Colonies?The reader will journey with the family in this touching, and sometimes terrifying, memoir. Sometimes a real journey and other times a spiritual one in the dying days of the British Raj. This is a compelling and fascinating tale that has been re-created from the memories of the early lives of the author's elder siblings. Later, the writer narrates his own childhood experiences. A narrative that is sensitive, sometimes frightening and often revelatory of the lives of an Anglo-Indian family as they searched for a land that was free from the horrors of human conflict.
