Night in Bombay

An instant best-seller when it was first published in 1940, Night in Bombay deftly traces the destinies of three individuals whose lives are inextricably linked together by chance: Bill Wainright, a rich American businessman; Buck Merrill, Bill's ailing friend who has devoted his life to philanthropy; and Carol Halma, a former beauty queen who was once married to Bill. A passionate relationship blossoms between Carol and Buck even as Bill finds himself falling in love with Carol once again. This love triangle unfolds against the shimmer and bustle of Bombay in the 1930s from the luxury and splendour of the Taj Mahal Hotel to the squalor and grime of the mill workers' quarters. Navigating their way amidst a host of colourful characters, the protagonists are pulled into a vortex of passion, greed, corruption and deception as the novel surges to a powerful climax.

The Rains Came: A Novel of Modern India

From My Experience is full of stimulating ideas, fascinating for anyone who understands or wishes to understand something of land and people and animals and plants--their relations to economics, science, and the vast scheme of life itself. But it catches one's attention in a different way and draws one back to read it, searchingly, again and again. For in it, cleanly and powerfully concentrated, is the story of a man's search for the meaning of living.

From My Experience

Here is a book to delight people of all ages. Animals and Other People is about wild and domestic animals, about pets'ranging from a wild tom turkey to a mongoose'and about people who are "teched" and have that inner sense and mystical feeling which makes them one with nature and with animals and birds.The book ranges from comedy to tragedy. The stories are sensitive and intimate, for Louis Bromfield is aware that every animal and bird has a personality of its own and that even among cows there are music lovers, clowns, and termagants. As Ellen Bromfield Geld remarked as a child, "The trouble with the animals on this farm is that they all think they&#39;re people."
