(3) YA Fifteen-year-old Rosalind, the freethinking daughter of a major in the British Indian army, experiences her first stirrings of social justice in post-WWI India. Rosy's interest in Gandhi's nonviolent protests gets her sent to live with aunts in England, but she remains steadfast in her views. Issues of self-determination are played out both politically and personally in this thought-provoking coming-of-age story. Glos.
