Reprint. This is a charming book that carries the rare delicateness of softly touching the strings of the heart On the surface its young womans journey to India her experiences and her onward journey to Ceylon before she returns home to England But flowers and elephants is nothing of what it seems and yet so much more As renowned author EM Forster writes in his poetic foreword this book is about the colours of a sea voyage it paints the vivid touches of oriental life it offers clever snatches of talk More so its about realitys contesting perfections and imperfections Life is at one moment so exquisite and near at the next so worthless and remote Despondency and contentment are both so transient Happiness is more probable in solitude An outward journey beautifully told this book is just that much about an inner journey that we all have at some point taken or will take in a quest to find answers to questions we often ask ourselves 196 pp.
