Harry King, artist and antiques dealer, thinks he has just made the worst purchase of his life - an enormous Victorian chest of drawers filled with ancient newspapers and bric-a-brac that now takes up half his shop. But when he trips over the beautiful historian Ramma Gupta, he realises he might have got more than he bargained for. Their story becomes entwined with the life of a Victorian explorer who mysteriously disappeared. A cross-cultural journey takes them from Oxford to India to uncover love, secrets, and the teachings of a lost empire.
In her latest novel, Sculpting the Elephant, she explores the stresses and delights of relationships that cross cultures. Given that mixed race relationships are now common, Sylvia is concerned at the alienating side effects of the rise in 'identity politics' on the children of those relationships. Given the diversity of her own family, her extended family and her friends from all over the world, Sylvia is uniquely placed to talk on the subject of creating empathy and not division in society.
As author of three volumes of Oxford Castaways she has interviewed 120 inspirational people from 5 continents who happen to connect in Oxford. Similarly she curated Poems in an Exhibition. The youngest poet was 18 and the oldest 94. They were born in 5 continents and the poets and artists involved are of many shades of skin and religion.
Sylvia strongly believes that genetically we are each of us unique and that is what she wishes to show in her writing and speaking.
