Reflections: Experiences of a Bureaucrat's Wife

Written by the wife of a former secretary of telecommunications in the Indian government, this memoir provides a lighthearted look at one woman's journey from bookish college girl to memsahib. The difficulty of pursuing her own career is part of the story, but mostly the book is a captivating and witty account of the people she met, the problems she solved, and the funny things that happened on the path to becoming a quite highly-placed—and then retired—bureaucrat's wife.
