She portrays that era as the glory days of the little country when there was strong economic growth, foreign enterprise was welcomed, industrious, well-educated ex-patriots were arriving, and cotton was becoming the crown jewel of the export economy. Her husband and his partner had played a significant role in this latter accomplishment.Margaret Mordecai provides an interesting, intimate account of her family's storybook experiences exploring a new and different culture and lifestyle. She paints a vivid picture of the incredible beauty of the country, the charm of its people, the fast-paced social life, and the political events that formed the backdrop of her personal story.
