The Girls from Overseas
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The Dun valley in the early 1970s: the enclave of the idle affluent - quiet, green and temperate, as much of India is not. Just the kind of place where 'the girls from overseas', five white women married to Indian men, should feel least displaced. Yet, Gertrude, Jane, Michelle, Sandy and Louise are vaguely unhappy: they wish they could be elsewhere, and hold weekly tea parties where they only meet each other. Their sole ally here is Jason, a young American who brings them foreign goods from his frequent trips abroad, lends them a shoulder to cry on, and sometimes sleeps with them. Then Jason goes and marries an Indian woman, a famous dancer with exotic looks and a superior air. What are the girls from overseas to do?
