Review
"Someone once said that the definition of the highest art is that one should feel that life is this and not otherwise. I do not know of a writer living who gives that feeling with more unqualified certainty than Mrs. Jhabvala." —C. P. Snow, author, Strangers and Brothers
"Her tussle with India is one of the richest treats of contemporary literature." —The Guardian
"A writer of genius . . . a writer of world class—a master storyteller whose interpretation of the Indian scene is but one aspect of her remorselessly intelligent yet decently sympathetic understanding of human relationships." —Sunday Times
