Roberts records her journey from London to India by the new overland route: across the Channel to Havre, up the Seine to Paris, by diligence and Rhône steamer to Marseilles, and then through Egypt and the desert to Bombay. She notes customs houses, hotels and food, scenery and traditions, and the odd improvised dwellings along the way.
A lively travelogue by a writer who died in India soon after, with a memoir of her life. Download the free EPUB.
