The Cats of Benares by Geraldine Halls 1967 Hardcover Dust Jacket 1st US Edition

The Cats of Benares by Geraldine Halls 1967 Hardcover First US Edition To live in India you must have an enormous heart, a heart of boundless dimensions. Or no heart at all. It's the in-betweens who have the tough time--such as Pamela Mardellis, a sensitive and pretty woman who had never learned her limitations. She had come to India when her husband, Richard, had taken a job with UNESCO in Delhi. Soon after they arrived, the Mardellises set off to see Siva's temple, pushing their way through the bazaar, full of fly-encrusted filth and beggars and old women squatting in rows holding out their bowls. Then, her feet slipping in the marigold mud of the temple path, Pamela saw the lepers. And fled back to the hotel. But it was the cats that were the last straw for Pamela--all thirty-eight of them. Obviously, she couldn't take India any longer, so Richard put her on a plane for England. Shipped with USPS Media Mail Package. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
