In this poignant memoir, Margaret Cotter Morison recounts her experiences living in Kashmir during the late 19th century. Stationed there with her husband, a British officer, Morison found herself struggling to adapt to the unfamiliar culture and harsh climate of the Himalayan region. Her account of her lonely summer spent separated from her husband and the comforts of her home in England is a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
