Hooghly Tales: Stories of Growing up in Calcutta under the Raj / An autobiographical journey of a Sephardic Jewess growing up in the Calcutta Jewish Community of colonial India in the thirties. A series of short stories accompanied by pencil sketches evokes vivid memories of childhood and adolescence under the Raj, set against a shifting background of World War II and Independence - the trams and ghora-gharries of Bentinck Street, the chants of worship during the High Holy Days, the shouts of joy of school children seeing the ocean for the first time, the roar of Spitfires over the emergency air strip in Red Road - all giving a personal insight into the scenes, sights and customs of a community now threatened with extinction."
