In Search of Time Wasted

The book intricately weaves the allure of India with the charm of Seil Island and Scotland's Western Seaboard, exploring the evolution of these regions over fifty years. It contrasts India's renaissance with Britain's struggles against poverty and exclusion, highlighting the privileged position of upper middle-class war babies. Through personal anecdotes and observations, the author reflects on the legacies of imperial wealth, the impact of WWII on tourism, and the challenges of prosperity versus conservation in Scotland. The narrative addresses broader themes of globalization and national aspirations from a unique, localized perspective.
