- Reading
- Try the opening together, then pause to see whether the changing time and setting are easy to follow before deciding whether to continue independently.
- Themes
- Friendship across backgrounds: Two English girls and a French girl share a childhood friendship in Calcutta. The outline establishes the girls’ differing backgrounds and closeness, but not how the story evaluates those differences.
- War and separation: The girls are parted during the war and meet again later. War is a turning point in the outline, but the events and their emotional treatment are unknown.
- A changing India: The girls meet again in what the outline calls a more modern India. The setting is presented as changed, but what those changes mean in the story is not established.
- Worth knowing
- War is part of the girls’ separation, but the nature and intensity of any conflict or harm are not clear from the outline.
