Produktinformationen zu „Postmarked Bombay (ePub)“

Twenty-four-year-old Harry Witt did the unthinkable in 1937 when he left his family and sweetheart, Idie Lacy, in Houston, Texas, to take a job halfway around the world in British Colonial India.

Adventurous tales of tiger hunts, rickety train rides, and a birthday with a maharajah mix with humorous anecdotes of rural village life and brokering cotton to fill Harry's letters home, giving Idie a unique glimpse of life in a strange land with a Texas twist.

Then Idie also did the unthinkable in 1939, taking a month-long sea voyage to marry Harry in Bombay. Their stories speak of learning to cope with each other and with life in a foreign culture and a faraway place. Idie was subsequently evacuated from India during World War II, while Harry stayed, working on a mission for his company and his country. His business contacts with Hindu, Muslim and English merchants helped him procure strategic materials for the Allies. Along the way, he interacted with everyone from peasants to maharajas and trekked into Nepal with a colleague, the first white men to do so.

Autoren-Porträt von Harriet Claiborne

Claiborne's unique voice is that of Harry Witt, a twenty-four-year-old Texas country boy who finds himself in India during the last years of British rule, 1937-1945. Plunged into a culture and people so foreign to his experience made his head spin. Letters and stories between Harry in Bombay and his sweetheart, Idie, in Houston, bring their adventure of love and faith alive in a unique time in history.

Claiborne's background of growing up in China, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina, as well as her travels to India in 1956, made her uniquely qualified to research, document, and share a timeless tue love story with a new perspective in world history.

Beyond creating Postmarked Bombay, Claiborne's passion for decades has been working with children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, work which she continues today.
