Book review 11 ~HEAT and DUST~

Title: HEAT and DUST

Author: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Publisher: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS/ 5

Summary:
There were two Englishwomen in India, separated by fifty years. In 1923, Olivia was bored wife of a British official. However, in that year her world was dramatically changed. It was a dreadful scandal for these times. In 1970s, Olivia’s granddaughter goes live in the heat and dust of Satipur, curious to learn more about that year in Olivia’s life. But history has a way of repeating itself.

Evaluation: ★★
I think this book is boring. I can’t understand the contents well. This book was so long that I lost interest in this book. But if I have more knowledge about India, I may feel interesting.
