Going Back

by Monica Jackson

Going Back is a heart-warming account of Monica Jackson's return to the Biligirirangan Hills of Karnataka and the coffee estates where she grew up. Daughter of a maverick English estate owner, her early years were spent on the family plantations in pre-independent India.

Her recollections of those times and the adventures that mark her 'homecoming', provide the book with both its charm and humour. As a serious student of anthropology, Jackson writes with genuine felling for the region and its people, bringing alive the world that she has carried in her heart all these years.

About the author

Monica Jackson lives on the Land of Oz side of Kansas. She fully embraces diversity (including Wicked Witches, Munchkins, and that goody-two-shoes Glenda, the Good Witch) since she resides on the far edge of the diverse divide too. Monica Jackson’s books, known for quirky humor and attitude, often wander from well-trod plot pathways. She spends far too much time online, and loves bubble baths and avoiding both productive activity and moderation.
