In August 1947, India and Pakistan gained independence from British rule. The transfer of power was a complex and bloody process, overseen by the last Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten. This book is a personal account of that time, written by Mountbatten's wife, Pamela.

Pamela Mountbatten provides a unique insight into the events leading up to and surrounding the transfer of power. She writes about the political negotiations, the violence that erupted across the subcontinent, and the personal toll that the events took on her husband and herself.

This book is a fascinating and moving account of a pivotal moment in history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of India, Pakistan, or the British Empire.
