Mem Sahib: Or Should She Have Told Him? is a novel written by Mrs. Frank T. Platts and first published in 1885. The story is set in British India during the late 19th century and follows the life of a young British woman named Edith, who is married to an Indian prince. Edith, or Mem Sahib as she is called by the locals, struggles to find her place in a society that is both foreign and hostile to her. The novel explores themes of race, gender, and cultural identity, as Edith navigates the complexities of her marriage and the expectations placed upon her as a British woman in India. She must also contend with the prejudices of her husband's family and the wider Indian community, who view her with suspicion and disdain. As the story unfolds, Edith is faced with a difficult decision: should she reveal a secret that could destroy her marriage and her reputation, or should she keep it hidden and risk losing everything she has worked for? The novel is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the struggle for self-determination in a society that is determined to keep its inhabitants in their assigned roles. Overall, Mem Sahib: Or Should She Have Told Him? is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of colonialism and the clash of cultures that defined British India during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
