Synopsis

An historical biography of a British Officer during the last years of the Raj. Few people are still alive who can remember the British Empire. The author's father, Hugh Rose, served as a British Officer with the Gurkhas in India, and also with the Political and Foreign Service in the Hadramat, Iran and North West Frontier. She found the facts and details in his diary too fascinating to keep hidden, and wrote this biography in order to record a time in history now fading to the past.

About this title

About the Author

The birth of Elizabeth Rose by the light of a hurricane lamp on the dining room table in the Himalayan foothills during the last decade of the British Raj precurses an unusual life ahead. A Raj orphan shipped from India aged seven, roaming the moors of an English children's home, feral, her imagination developed un-schooled and un-censored. Wife, mother, Speech Pathologist, and sculptor, with the same passion she gave to each career, she now gives to her writing. Influenced by her step-father, author John Masters, she joined the SouthWest Writers in 2008 to craft this historical biography of her birth-father's life. She has received more than a dozen awards to date. Emigrating from England in 1986 she now lives and works in Galisteo, New Mexico, USA.
