Freedom's daughter: Letters between Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru 1922-1939
These letters begin with Nehru's postcards and messages to his baby daughter and with her first effort at the age of six. They are plentiful, because Nehru was often away from home, not only on political business but also in prison. During this time Indira was growing up, experiencing different kinds of schools, in India and then in Europe, and finally the university life in Oxford. She told her father of everyday events of life; he gave her advice on her education, talked about life and politics, told her about the wildlife round his prisons. The letters are remarkable for their sensitivity, honesty, lightness and capacity for capturing events and characters, bringing to life a now perhaps largely forgotten world. This volume ends in 1939 as that world changed.
