Emily Eden's childhood prepared her well for her role as companion to her brother, the Governor-General of India, but the observant and sharp-tongued Eden (1797-1869) never censored her letters for the sake of diplomacy. This two-volume collection, edited by her niece Eleanor Eden, was published posthumously in 1872.

Eden's candid but sensitive account of three years in India represents the experiences of thousands of women who endured dusty bonnets and darned crinolines to accompany fathers and husbands to the furthest outposts of the British Empire. Volume 1 takes readers from London to Calcutta via sea voyages and monsoons.
