It is early 1956 and the British empire is crumbling. But for nine-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 some signs of wear, some foxing to the paper.
