It is early 1956 and the British Empire is crumbling.  But for 9-year-old Ella, living with her parents at the British High Commission in Peshawar, Pakistan, the walls of class, snobbery and racism are still intact.  Growing up is a lonely, painful experience, and Ella withdraws, recording the hypocrisy of adult behavior in her diary, A History of Insects, where she hides a secret that could shatter the lives of the people around her.

Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover shows minor signs of wear.  The paper is browning.
