Pool in the Desert | 
Ok, so I‘m reading this book I found at a garage sale some time back, by a Canadian author writing on Colonial India based on her own experiences.
Since it was originally published in 1903, the English is of its time, but the stories are wonderful: sharply observed, and a brilliant depiction of that time and place from a bright, cynical woman‘s mind.
I‘m going to hunt for her biography now.
