The story

Harriet is an upper-middle class English teenage girl who lives with her family on the banks of the Ganges River in British India. Her father runs a jute mill, and she has four sisters and one brother, all of whom are at least several years younger than her. The children are raised in a genteel, English environment, and even have the benefit of live-in Indian employees, such as "Nan", their nanny.
