Description
A Backward Place by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is a humorous exploration of contradictions in attitudes and lifestyles, set against the vibrant backdrop of a bustling city. Six colourful characters inhabit this world, each with their own unique perspective on life. From the aristocratic Etta to the aspiring Hollywood star Bal, these individuals navigate the complexities of cultural identity and individuality. As they experience an alternative way of life, their attempts at adaptation often leave something to be desired. This witty and engaging novel charts the highs and lows of everyday life in a richly drawn and immersive setting. With its Dickensian drama and comedic tone, A Backward Place offers a thought-provoking and entertaining read for anyone interested in exploring the human condition.
