Sunia, A Himalayan Idyll: And Other Stories (1913)

By Maud Diver

Book Overview

Sunia, A Himalayan Idyll: And Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by Maud Diver and first published in 1913. The book is set in the Himalayan region of India and explores themes of love, loss, and cultural differences. The title story, Sunia, is a romantic tale of a British woman who falls in love with a local Indian man, but faces opposition from both their families due to their different backgrounds. Other stories in the collection include The Rescue, in which a British woman saves a young Indian girl from a forced marriage, and The Old Order, which examines the changing social structures of India during British colonial rule. Diver, who spent many years living in India, draws on her own experiences to create vivid and engaging stories that provide a glimpse into the complexities of life in the Himalayan region during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
