The sun in the morning My early years in India and England by M.M. Kaye - New York St. Martin's Press 1990 - 454 pages

'Only yesturday----!' The silver sails Morning's at seven Peacocks and lilies Unwillingly to school The locust years Appendix

Born to British parents from families with a tradition of service in India and China, Kaye's "conversation" is rich with recollections of a carefree childhood in British-governed India (The Raj) and of a more restricted adolescence in school at "home"--In drab England so far from her real home and from her beloved father and social butterfly of a mother. This rag-bag of exotic and mundane scraps (a metaphor that Kaye establishes in the foreword) spills forth palpable scenes of family and folklore, of friendships and of memorable events.
