Description

A nostalgic memoir that weaves together romance and a life with horses. Imtiaz Fiona Griffiths' story takes readers on a journey through India's pre and post-independence era, from her childhood in railway "hill stations" to adventures in the horse-racing world of Calcutta in the 1950s and 1960s. Griffiths' life is filled with fascinating characters, including bookmakers, horses, tortoises, Jesuits, and more. Her experiences build towards a joyous and poignant read as she builds her dream racehorse stud farm with her husband Mike in rural Bihar. The memoir concludes with a transition to life in Canada, forming a satisfying bookend to the narrative. This memoir offers a unique blend of romance, adventure, and personal reflection, set against the backdrop of India's transformation.
