Someday, I'd love for someone to find a batch of the hundreds of postcards I've sent to friends over the years and use them to recreate the relationship I had with that friend and the person I was. What sketchy details would be picked out to support what shaky theories? Heller's Woman Who Knew Gandhi tries not to be a history of Gandhi's suspect relationship with a girl from his days as a student in Britain. That would be far too People Magazine for a true historian. Instead, the story purports to focus on the attitudes of people in small town England towards India, Indophiles, and one particular Indian (Gandhi of course!). I picked it up hoping for a look at India through the eyes of a Brit who really understood the history and flavor of the country. But it's elephants and snake-charmers galore. The British neighbor drinks too much tea and the charming Indian professor wears glasses that are perpetually sliding down his nose. The pyramids can be seen from Suez and the husband whittles toys for the grandchildren. It's not a total loss though. The writing is entrancing in its attention to detailing retired life and the woman's confusing about her past fairly mirrors the questions any woman who has lived just a bit would ask herself. So I wouldn't actively recommend it to anyone. But if it's lying around, go ahead and give it a read. Just don't expect much more than fluff.
