Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Olivia in India" by O. Douglas is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely around the 1910s. The story follows the titular character, Olivia, as she embarks on a journey to India, revealing her experiences and observations with a blend of humor and insight. The narrative is likely to explore themes of cultural encounters, personal growth, and relationships. At the start of the novel, Olivia is on a sea voyage to India aboard the S.S. Scotia, where she writes letters detailing her experiences and the characters she meets, particularly her cabin companion Geraldine Hilton, known as G. Through her letters, readers get a glimpse of Olivia's initial struggles with sea sickness and homesickness, her humorous observations about life on board, and her vibrant friendship with G. The opening captures Olivia's personality, offering a blend of self-deprecation, affection for her family, and a keen sense of humor as she navigates the challenges of travel and the anticipation of her adventures in India.
