She is the fourth surviving daughter in a young family. They live in a small rented cottage. Electricity, running water and main drainage are still decades away The lifestyle and environment of these two families are vastly different and in very different parts of the world. This is a narrative about these two people. It tracks their lives from birth to their late teens and beyond. The story also explores their ancestry back several generations. The book is fiction but much of it is based on fact. The time line moves to the millennium. Our Anglo Indian is on a yacht in the Caribbean with his best friend. They have been friends for thirty five years and he has been promised this story since they met. Time and life have always put off the telling, but now they have all the time;
