The Autobiography of a Wanderer in England & Burma

Early chapters in this memoir give a splendid picture of a family, Huguenot & British and India followed by professional and commercial middle class life and an English education. Life in London is a vibrant picture. The main story is Burma, legal cases, extraordinary cases, social and cultural life, journalism and the beginnings of independent Burma, and finally WWII and the harrowing experience of exile.
