To Whom She Will

"'Not only does it depict life in present-day Delhi but, in its subtlety and in the excellence of its writing it seems to suggest that at long last a real Anglo-Indian literature may be growing up . . . There have surely been few better expositions of the workings of the Indian mind than this intelligent and irresistibly amusing novel.' The Times.

'One of the most intriguing novels by an English-speaking Indian I have yet come across. Miss Jhabvala has a talent for quietly witty irony that would hardly disgrace Jane Austen. Miss Jhabvala is a discovery, we shouldn't neglect her.' The Daily Telegraph.

'A very tender, powerfully written love story against the pulsing background of present-day New Delhi. This Indian novelist uses her pen with a fine sense of delicacy, understanding and kindly good humour. This is a book that entertains supremely, and gives the Western reader vivid pictures of very modern Indian domestic life. A book, also, not easily forgotten.' Yorkshire Observer.
