When she was 23 Emma Smith went to India with a documentary film unit that included Laurie Lee, who was employed by the Tea Board to write two scripts. On her return to England she published Maiden?s Trip, about her wartime life on a narrow-boat: then, ?financially solvent, I took up residence, alone with my typewriter, in a tiny room in the H�tel de Tournon, Paris.? The result was The Far Cry. The Far Cry 'centres round Teresa aged fourteen' (Emma Smith told her original publisher) 'and her elderly father who, in his anxiety to keep her from his second wife, her mother, undertakes a formidable journey from England to his other daughter in the north of India. Teresa's feelings in the matter are not considered, or even discovered by her dominating parent. Himself in search of reassurance and love, he is blind to the same need existing beside him in Teresa.' The departure from England and the voyage out make up the first two sections of the book, and the trip across India by train the third; the fourth and fifth are about India and what happens there. The focus of the novel is on Teresa and her responses to the people she meets and to India itself; and her maturing from a child into a young girl, mirroring, perhaps, Emma Smith's own change from girl to woman while she was in India. This new edition has a new preface by the author and an afterword by Susan Hill. Ref NNN 7. Seller Inventory # 031994
