Olivia in India

Zusatztext

Olivia, a young Scotswoman, takes a trip to India to visit her brother, who is a civil servant. Through her letters, we follow Olivia's ocean voyage to India, her stay in Calcutta, and her visits to outlying posts. The letters are gaily written and offer amusing anecdotes about the journey, the people she meets, and impressions of India on a girl who has barely left Scotland before.
