         This is not an autobiography as much as an evocation of a time that is gone, write Jon and Rumer Godden at the start of this magical book. At the time the book was published, both women were experienced writers of novels and short stories.

         Two Under the Indian Sun is a lyrical, funny, and charming recollection of the seven years the sisters spent with their family in Narayanganj, a city on the Shitalakshya River in then-East Bengal (and now Bangladesh).

         Reading Two Under the Indian Sun, one is challenged to tell one authors voice from the other. The two blend together into an almost seamless narrative, and the only clue to a change is when one of the sisters is named: if its Jon, then Rumer is writing, and vice versa.
