Ironie a suchý anglický humor - základní úhel pohledu, jímž Harriet Blairová popisuje rodinné prázdniny na jihu Francie. Je to zábavný příběh, velmi dobře napsaný, který dává nahlédnout vtipným dialogem do charakteru několika lidí. Její největší půvab je v humorném podání těch nejvšednějších událostí.

Jen and Isla have nothing in common - except their love for the same man. Isla is Richard's wife of ten years: they make a handsome, gifted and admired couple. 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.

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.
