This 'savage comedy with a vicious streak' (Elizabeth Bowen in "The
Tatler" in 1949) describes the 'second passage to India' of
'Teresa, whose elderly, willful father drags her off to spare her
from the clutches of her mother...I can think of no writer, British
or Indian, who has captured so vividly, with such intensity, the
many intangibles of the Indian kaleidoscope; Emma Smith harnessed
those intense impressions of her youth to give her story a quite
extraordinary driving force' wrote Charles Allen in the
"Spectator", going on to agree with Susan Hill in her Persephone
Afterword that the book is 'a small masterpiece...beautifully
shaped, evocative, moving and mature.' "The Far Cry" was Book at
Bedtime on BBC Radio 4.
