The Hill of Devi by E. M. Forster (Used)

E. M. Forster's memoir recounts his two stays in India, in 1912–13 and 1921, when he served as private secretary to Tukojirao III, the young Maharajah of Dewas Senior. Taking its title from a hilltop temple to the goddess Devi, the book paints an intimate, affectionate portrait of a small princely court and its ruler, and of Forster's own place within it as an outsider. Published in 1953, it is a nonfiction companion piece to his novel A Passage to India.
