Backward Place Paperback - 1990

by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala


From the publisher

From Simon & Schuster, A Backward Place is Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's unforgettable work of fiction. A Backward Place humorously explores contradictions in attitudes and lifestyles and the interplay between culture and individuality. But it is also a Dickensian drama, charting the highs and lows of everyday life against the enchanting backdrop of a bustling Indian city.
