Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: “At Home in India” is a thoughtful memoir and travelogue written by Cynthia Bowles, the daughter of U.S. Ambassador Chester Bowles.
The book recounts her twenty-one months in India during the early 1950s, beginning when she was fifteen. Rather than confining herself to the diplomatic world, Bowles chose to immerse herself in Indian life. She candidly details her experiences attending local schools like the Delhi Public School and Santiniketan, volunteering at a hospital, working with the India Village Service in rural communities, and traveling extensively. Her account is a sincere effort to understand Indian society, culture, and the challenges of a newly independent nation through the eyes of an engaged American teenager, ultimately finding a sense of “home” in the “strange and wonderful land.”
