There, the sisters led an idyllic life: they put up plays; wrote books; and spent summers in Coonoor, Mussoorie, Kashmir and Darjeeling. And, in a memorable journey, they spent a week on the Hooghly, sailing home from Calcutta via the Sundarbans. It was also in Narayangunj that the idyll soured - just before they left for England in 1919 and the sisters grew apart after a fistfight over the affections of a man. Written with a child’s candour and wide-eyed sense of wonder, Two under the Indian Sun is not just a remarkable chronicle of a shared childhood, but also a vivid picture of everyday life in India of the early 1900s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47076276273303,"sku":"9789385755743","price":210.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789385755743.webp?v=1772873310","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/two-under-the-indian-sun-a-memoir-9789385755743","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
