‘Interesting and relevant … [A Winter in India] sum[s] up a typical British attitude to empire and to India in the early twentieth century. First, … the products of power … secondly, … "duty" and "progress." Third … genuine incomprehension and incompatibility. Finally, … admiration, fascination and affection.’ — Peter Robb‘[An] entertaining story.’ — The New York Times, 22 February 1914
