About this listen

 Helen Forrester's moving story of an English girl and her love affair with an Indian man. Peggy Delaney was a Lancashire girl born and bred, beginning to live again after the heartache of the war. Ajit Singh was a charming young Indian student, shortly to return to his homeland and an arranged marriage.

When Peggy and Ajit fell in love, each one knew the future would not be easy. But as they began their new life, far from their homes and their families, they found that love could bring two worlds together.

Very enjoyable book

This book was very unusual and very informative about the different cultures but I like it very much.
The narrator had a lovely voice which always helps, what was annoying was the long pause between chapters (I have never come across a narrator adapting this before.

Excellent Story

An excellent story, beautifully written and an introduction to Indian culture which had been well prepared. A book which can be read again and again. Carolyn Pickles was an excellent choice to read the book, I found it difficult to close the book.

Never really got engaged

I don’t really see the point of this book. It didn’t really explore the nuances of mixed marriages, living in different cultures and the social mores of the post war world. Neither did it really show depth of the characters nor resolve issues in any informative way. I’d say, to sum up - behind every rather bad tempered father there is a successfully manipulative mother!
