Synopsis
A beautifully evocative story perfectly capturing the flavour of Bombay in the 1950s
Roberta Maling-Smith – Baby to her friends – has lived in splendour all her life in Bombay but is as vulnerable to heartache as the next girl. Her beloved Charlie returns to England to be married and Baby’s world suddenly seems desolate. When she meets the charmingly ingenuous Australian Dennis Gillies, oddly out of place in Bombay society, he seems just the person to help her forget Charlie. And marriage to Dennis would make her dying mother very happy.
But Baby doesn’t know that Dennis is being blackmailed by a local chi-chi girl determined to make him pay for an ill-advised night of passion - preferably with a wedding ring.
