The second part of the book focuses on Johnston's life in India, where she lived for several years with her husband, who was a British colonial administrator. She writes about the culture shock she experienced upon arriving in India, as well as her interactions with the local people and her efforts to learn the language and customs of the country. Throughout the book, Johnston reflects on the differences between life in England and life in India, as well as the challenges and rewards of living in a foreign country.
