ABOUT THIS BOOK
A society woman decides to ‘educate’ a man and is met with impropriety, a small
group of European settlers find themselves socially compromised by each other’s
infidelity, and a ‘second-rate woman’ proves herself worthy in the eyes of the women
of Shimla.
Light-hearted and witty, Under the Deodars features ‘The Education of Otis Yeere’,
‘A Wayside Comedy’ and ‘A Second-Rate Woman’. These stories chronicle the lives
of the British people who settled in the hills of India at the turn of the twentieth
century, and the ways in which they adapted to the demands of Empire.
