Jen has been his mistress for nearly as long: with her he is someone else entirely. When a chance meeting brings the two women together, each is forced to re-evaluate the man she thought she knew. But after the initial shock subsides, they begin an enduring friendship that survives the worst tragedy either can imagine: Richard's premature death.

Adeline Gundry was raised to be a perfect lady in a perfect Edwardian world of rank and privilege. But she had other ideas. She wanted independence and passion. From her idyllic childhood in Devon to her glorious success as an artist, Adeline lives her life to the full - a woman of her times.

The Nagas of Northeast India, radically different in culture and beliefs from the better-known Hindu peoples of the plains, were renowned in the years before Indian independence for their fierce resistance to British rule and for their practice of head-hunting. Although sharing many social and cultural traits, the thousands of small Naga villages often vary greatly from one another, and the Nagas display both unity and diversity in their dress and ornament. Their vibrant material culture is generously illustrated here in color photographs that display textiles, basketry, jewelry, weapons, metalwork, and carvings. Drawing on a diverse range of historical materials, the authors examine how the notion of tribes came to be applied to the Nagas and point out its subsequent importance in the development of contemporary Naga nationalism.
