Just finished The British in India" and what a great read it was. I learned so much from its collection of individual stories, "personal histories". Even though the author explicitly stated it was "not a book about the Eurasians (in the twentieth century known as Anglo-Indians), people of British-Indian descent who would deserve a book of similar size for themselves", it still filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge and understanding of my Anglo-Indian background. And it was an interesting coincidence to learn that author has also written a biography of Giovanni Tommasi di Lampedusa, whose Il Gattopardo is on my "try to read" list for 2019
