Book description
A classic tale from Helen Forrester set in the heart of India.
A heartwarming story of India, newly free - a moment when the old and
new clashed.
Lovely Anasuyabehn had been brought up to obey her loving father in all
things. But as soon as she set eyes on Tilak, the brilliant new
professor at Shahpur University, she knew she could not marry Mahadev,
the wealthy moneylender selected to be her husband. The trouble was that
Tilak was not of her caste or religion, and shocked her community with
his modern ideas.
Torn between passionate love and a deep religious belief, Anasuyabehn
longed to follow her heart… what she did not know was how much both men
wanted her… Praise for Liverpool Miss:
'Records of hardship during the Thirties or earlier are not rare; but
this has features that make it stand apart'
Observer
'The story of a young girl's courage and perseverance against
adversity… warm-hearted and excellent'
