Any story which is based on true experiences become interesting. On the top of it if the narration is more than a century old it develops a unique taste. It took me nearly two months to read the book '41 years in India' by Earl Frederick Sleigh Roberts. In appreciation of the book I would say that for two months there was no problem passing the free time in a useful way.
Roberts was one of the most successful military commanders of his times. His narration of India seem most candid and interesting. The flow language and the story as a whole is excellent. The details are mentioned with great accuracy. One is flooded with the knowledge of the British Raj after reading this book.
