  <default_description>A poignant and brave exploration of childhood's less lovely spaces, First Darling is a sensitive, vividly-relived memoir that captures the innocence and confusion of a small Indian girl struggling against the paradoxes that rock her life. Told with startling honesty, the memoir paints an unforgettable picture of middle-class life in contemporary Bombay.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm a few pages from the end, but I can say,wWhat an amazing memoir.
