Review: Out of India by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

 

I enjoyed this collection of short stories immensely. Not a very good analogy I know, but if life in India was a big cucumber then these are like little slices of that cucumber, each one acutely observed . The writing is a joy and the author does not shy away from any difficult subject of human interaction; in fact most (but not all)of the stories are about illicit sexual relationships of one kind or another. This was very interesting to me right now, as I know from recent experience that women do not believe marriage to be the invioable contract I always thought it was.

I would read anything written by this lady in the future.
