Was $12.00. “Based on an aside in Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography in which he mentions a brief but seductive youthful flirtation with an Englishwoman, THE WOMAN WHO KNEW GANDHI boldly imagines a long correspondence between a spiritual leader from the East and an ordinary woman from the West.” After Ghandi’s assassination the Englishwoman receives a letter from Gandhi’s son. He found a stash of his father’s letters and wants to meet her before he dies of tuberculosis.   #21514
