Kama Houri

Written prior to the author's Deva Dasi, and first published in 1956 as number 31 in the Traveller's Companion series, Kama Houri is Mardaan's tale of young Ann Pemberton, a beautiful young naif who visits India during Victoria's reign. Finding herself possessed of many strange urges, she's alone with a soldier in her father, the colonel's native cavalry. And things get very interesting from that point.
