Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Julia Gregson Dear Reader, I am delighted to share with you information on the upcoming publication of my book, EAST OF THE SUN. Set to be published in the U.S. this June 2009 by Touchstone, a division of Simon & Schuster. EAST OF THE SUN is a story of love, friendship and adventure. It follows three young and naïve women who are being sent out to India in 1928 as members of the Fishing Fleet, the unkind name given to British women who traveled to India searching for husbands. I try to imagine the terror and the thrill young girls would feel being sent half way across the world, often un-chaperoned, and I was determined not to make them the usual caricatures of the Memsahib- gin swilling, narrow minded snobs. Some deserved our contempt; most didn't. EAST OF THE SUN was chosen in the U.K. as a 2008 choice for the Richard and Judy Book Club (The U.K.equivalent of the Oprah Book Club), the winner of the 2009 Romantic Novel of the Year, chosen by The Independent as a perfect summer read and was a Times/ W.H. Smith promotion. The B.B.C. and Allan Mc Keown Presents have commissioned scripts for a six part television series.
