M. Forster’ (The Times).\u003c\/b\u003e Hotel owner Auntie Sanni has entertained all manner of guests during her many years as hostess at Patna Hall, a popular vacation spot on the lush Coromandel coast. Now, with an election coming, business is especially brisk, and her hotel is packed with Indian politicians, British diplomats, journalists, American tourists – even an elephant, and a woman of mystery or two. Among the vacationers are Mary and Blaise, a young English couple on their honeymoon. But where Mary is enchanted by the colours, sounds and vibrant Indian life, prim and priggish Blaise sees only squalor, sordidness and a Coromandel Sea teeming with sharks. Matters are only made worse when Mary becomes interested in local Indian politics – particularly the handsome, exquisitely spoken candidate Krishnan, whose kindness and wisdom are like a balm for her spirit . . .","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45065834889374,"sku":"ADS-9781529078503","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529078503.jpg?v=1738728908","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529078503","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
