In this fascinating memoir, Sheila Dhar gives an insider's view of the world of Indian musicians and the now all but vanished life style of the Mathur Kayasthas of Delhi in the forties and fifties. With her insight and unique narrative talent, she has created an unforgettable human document
Dhar's remarkable sketches of musicians, both as teachers and performers, provide an animated contrast to the usual fare....This book would be excellent background reading for a survey course on the art music and cultures of India.--Ethnomusicology
