How Does a Brahmin Family Live?

Miss Reymond was in India first time from 1947 to 1953, but she did also then go back in time some thousands of years when she joined her family with their long heritage. As the name says the book tells of her life in an orthodox Brahmin family observing the rigid discipline that belong to the tradition.Miss Reymond writes: "This story begins when I had been living for seven months in the little Himalayan town of Kurmachala, where I had gone to write and study, after spending more than two busy years at Calcutta, my first home-town amid the splendour and squalor of Bengal".A very readable book with plenty of keen observations and experiences.
