- When World War I began in 1914, sisters Jon and Rumer Godden - aged six and seven respectively - left England to join their parents in Narayangunj, a village in Bengal. 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.
