From Library Journal
Plans for Departure is set in the hill station of Himapur in India, on the eve of World War II. An elderly Indian scientist, alone with his new Danish secretary, has taken a summer cottage to continue his research. Other members of the local ``gentry'' are a dynamic missionary and his boorish wife, and the local magistrate who has become disillusioned with British rule in India. The plot turns around the secretary, Anna, her sympathies to the Indian independence movement, and her reaction to the mysterious disappearances of the magistrate's wife and murder of the missionary's wife. Although somewhat dry and slow moving, the intelligent writing and popular setting will make this novel appeal to some readers. Janet Boyarin Blundell, M.L.S., Wanamassa, N.J.
