Die dreiteilige Autobiografie der Autorin M.M. Kaye wurde leider nie ins Deutsche übersetzt:
Teil 1:
- The Sun in the Morning
"Kaye's fans will not be surprised by the exotic locales or the evocative observations found in the first volume of the best-selling author's autobiography. xlBorn to British parents from families with a tradition of service in India and China, Kaye's "conversation" is rich with recollections of a carefree childhood in British-governed India (The Raj) and of a more restricted adolescence in school at "home"--in drab England so far from her real home and from her beloved father and social butterfly of a mother. This rag-bag of exotic and mundane scraps (a metaphor that Kaye establishes in the foreword) spills forth palpable scenes of family and folklore, of friendships and of memorable events..."
Teil 2:
- Golden Afternoon
