The book presents the journey of Charlotte Baxter, who, like Rukshana, is plucked from her familiar environment in London when her father decides to move to Hyderabad, India.  The family reorients itself to the cultural milieu of Hyderabad.

Life in a Postcard is the protagonist’s recollection of anecdotes, presented as bite-sized chapters, as though narrated to her mother through postcards from her different travel destinations. ‘Life on a …
