    Two different stories about two women, a grandmother and one of her granddaughters.
    The book starts in the present when the granddaughter, after her father's death, finds an exceptionally beautiful scarf, that once belonged to her grandmother. Not knowing the origin of the scarf other than from India, nor recognizing two of the three ladies on her grandmother's photograph plus her questions about the origin of a lock of hair, Mair decides to travel to India to find out about her grandmother's life in India and, of course, why she had the Kashmir scarf.
    1941 As a missionary wife the grandmother, Nerys, travels from Wales to pre-war India to work alongside Evan, her missionary husband.
    Her life and her relationships during those India years are beautifully described by Rosie Thomas.
    Nerys' story flows and is engaging; it also makes sense whilst Mair's story, I found, was contrived, superficial and incredible.
    It was almost as if the book was written by two different authors: one accomplished and the other author on a Mills and Boon contract.
    Every time the story changed from Nery's life to Mair's I found myself putting the book down as I had other, more pressing things to do.
    I also found that the book contained an enormous amount of interesting facts about India in general and during the time of separation. Obviously Ms Thomas has done a lot of research without overwhelming us with facts.
    Although this book did not do it for me, I will most certainly try another title by Rosie Thomas as I don't think that one should make a decision based on one title alone.

    a shawl , a lock of hair and a photo sends Mair to India and Kashmir to unravel the history of her grandmother.
    excellent dual story , going back and forth between past and present , colonial and contemporary India brought vivedly to life.
    hard to put down
