About the Author
Coming from Sussex where Bryony Hill was also educated, after a year at Brighton College of Art, she spent four years in France after which, on returning to England, she met and eventually married the television sports presenter Jimmy Hill. Scotland to Shalimar - a Family's Life in India is Bryony's ninth book and follows the lives of her mother's family six generations of whom were born in India. Apart from writing Bryony is a keen gardener, painter and cook and, when she came across a collection of her great-great grandmother's and great-grandmother's recipes, the seed was sown to dig deep into her ancestors' history and lives.
Reviews
'This is a charming book, which captures a side of our history seldom remembered; stoicism and invention in India before the dawn of the Raj, delight in the flowers and landscape, filling time during long days in a foreign land newly under British rule, and a sense of cheerful duty when confronted with the unexpected...Completely enchanting'; Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS
