About this product
Product Information
Chosen by The New York Times Book Review as one of the best books of 1986, this volume of stories, selected by the author from her own early work, represents the essence of her Indian experience. Bearing Jhabvala's hallmark of balance, subtlety, wry humor, and beauty, these stories present characters that prove to be as vulnerable to the contradictions and oppressions of the human heart as to those of India itself.

Reviews
Praise for Out of India "...There is not a shoddy line or unnecessary word here; the book has the hallmark of balance, subtlety, humor and beauty." -- New York Times Book Review "In plain, unassuming prose that doesn't altogether conceal the tears and laughter that give it urgency, the story of many different Indias unfolds in these 15 tales... All the stories, unrelated but focusing on the search for a quiet center that justifies disjointed and woebegone lives, are woven together in a glowing tapestry enriched by profound knowledge, humor and compassion." -- Publishers Weekly "The writing is brilliant. The reader feels the excitement of seamlessly knitted images that grow, one out of another, into a woven cloth of world." -- The Village Voice "[A] collection of rare and exotic quality." -- Boston Herald "These stories do not demystify India; they pay the place tributes of empathy and grace." -- Time Magazine "Erotic, languorous tales, beautiful, haunting, finely crafted and memorably described." -- The Dallas Morning News "These stories are well-crafted and poignant. The characters become, to use a Jhabvala image, lighted candles burning in the windows of the world." -- The Seattle Times Praise for Ruth Prawer Jhabvala "A writer of genius... A writer of world class--a master storyteller." -- Sunday Times "An allusiveness, a susceptibility to mood, a tenderness to which Chekhov was the exemplar." --V. S. Pritchett, author of Lasting Impressions "Marvellous... each story perfectly constructed and complete." --Jane Gardam, author of Last Friends "Her tussle with India is one of the richest treats of contemporary literature." -- The Guardian "Brutally honest, these stories cut straight to the heart of the matter." -- The Good Book Guide "Seductive... intelligent and frank... Jhabvala's troubled fragments provide consolation, not in art, but in the understanding that differences between continents and cultures cannot deny the common core of human yearnings" -- Times Literary Supplement

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
