Narrative Conducive To Books East of the Sun

Autumn 1928. The Kaiser-i-Hind is en route to Bombay. In Cabin D38, Viva Hollowat, an inexperienced chaperone, is worried she's made a terrible mistake. Her advert in The Lady has resulted in three unsettling charges to be escorted to India.

Rose, a beautiful, dangerously naive English girl, is about to be married to the cavalry officer she has met only a handful of times.

Victoria, the bridesmaid, is determined to lose her virginity on the journey before finding a husband of her own in India. And overshadowing all three of them, the malevolent presence of Guy Glover, a strange and disturbed schoolboy.

Three potential Memsahibs with a myriad of reasons for leaving England, but the cargo of hopes and secrets they carry has done little to prepare them for what lies ahead.

From the parties of the wealthy Bombay socialites to the poverty of the orphans on Tamarind Street, East of the Sun is everything a historical novel should be: alive with glorious detail, fascinating characters and masterful storytelling.

Write Up Regarding Books East of the Sun

Much more successful than my last book! I enjoyed this historical fiction tale set during the British Raj - books set in this time period are a guilty pleasure of mine. It doesn't match the awesomeness of M.M. Kaye, one of my favorite authors, but this book is in the same general area as Shadow of the Moon, which is one of my favorite books of all time. If you're into sweeping epics set during tumultuous periods about likeable characters, give it a go.

This book tells the story of three girls, all of whom leave England for various reasons on a journey to India. Rose is leaving to get married, whilst Tor is her bridesmaid and on the hunt for a potential love interest whilst being chaperoned by a "mysterious" Viva who seeks to find out more about her past.I found the book quite simply fairly dull reading, not demanding in the usual sense of the word, but demanding to me in the aspect it felt like a huge effort to continue reading it. I didnt

Great book. Fabulous author. An inspiration to me, and partly because of this book, I began writing myself. Read it six years ago, so can't go in to detail here. If you haven't read it, you're in for a treat.

I love historical fiction, I always feel like I'm getting something for nothing. Not only do I learn about a period of time and a way of life, but I get to read a story about people and the obstacles that life presents for them. East of the Sun begins in 1928 during the British Raj of India which lasted from 1858-1947. It is the story of three women who are as different from each other as night to day, but are thrown together and travel to India for reasons which I won't reveal (spoiler). It is

I did enjoy this but did not find it as captivating as I had expected to, both from reviews read and from the fact that it won the UK Romantic Novel of 2009 award. It was an enjoyable read though maybe my opinion was clouded because a favourite author of mine did not win the award. In 1928, three young women leave the United Kingdom to start what they hope will be new lives in India. The first protagonist we meet is Viva Holloway who wishes to return to India having spent some of her childhood

East of the Sun: A NovelIt has been along time since I have been as excited about writing a review as I am for East of the Sun: A Novel by Julia Gregson!! I actually got up this morning grabbed the book, looking for my bookmark to continue, only to realize I had finished it last night!Yes - this is the story of 3 women and 1 man who for various reasons embark on a life changing trip to India. It is the 1920's and India is experiencing "growing pains" - an independent India is not far off.BUT -
