Ruth Prawer Jhabvala moved to New York in the 1970s, after a
quarter-century in India, with a sense of homecoming. In the pickled
cucumbers of West Side delicatessens, she found a "memory-stirring
madeleine" to evoke the pre-war German childhood she had lost as a
refugee in England in 1939. "I met the people who should have remained
in my life," she wrote, "people I went to school with in Cologne, with
exactly the same background as my own."
