The book tells of four generations of British women in Indian and Burma. By supporting their husbands they held together the greatest Empire on earth, to their private cost and pain. Based on a very rich collection of letters, diaries, and photographs, it is a story of class, snobbery, racism, but also suffering and courage, told in a brilliant and moving way.
