The
last
volume
of
Ved
Mehta's
Continents
of
Exile
series.
Nearly
50
years
in
the
making,
Continents
of
Exile
is
one
of
the
great
works
of
twentieth-century
autobiography:
the
epic
chronicle
of
an
Indian
family
in
the
twentieth
century.
From
1930s
India
to
1950s
Oxford
and
literary
New
York
in
the
1960s-80s,
this
is
the
story
of
the
post-colonial
twentieth
century,
as
uniquely
experienced
and
vividly
recounted
by
Ved
Mehta.During
the
clamour
of
a
New
York
dinner
party,
Mehta
is
startled
to
find
his
father
crying
on
his
mother's
shoulders.
This
episode
begins
a
painful
and
revealing
voyage
into
his
father's
personal
history.
In
stark
prose,
Mehta
unravels
a
passionate,
clandestine
affair
that
bore
quiet
yet
extraordinary
consequences
for
himself
and
his
family.
Red
Letters
also
serves
as
a
brilliant
exploration
and
a
recreation
of
British
India:
its
sights
and
sounds,
its
injustices
and
its secrecy.
