Hey /lit/ , can you help me out?

I’m looking for an obscure book I read when I was younger, it was a collection of stories from India, and I think it was called ‘Night Train to (some Indian place)’. One of the stories I remember best was about an old lady who used to shoot monkeys for eating the daffodils in her garden, and one day a swarm of monkeys killed her? I think? The story was being narrated by an older gentleman to the author, although I’m not quite sure. If anyone recalls anything, or any books similar to it, please help me out.

I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about it recently, and it’s been distracting me when I’m working out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Night Train to Varanasi?
The Night Train at Deoli?

No, it’s an older book. I found it in my school library some years ago, and it was already fairly old if I remember. I have a feeling it might be from before the turn of the millennium.

Right, I’m going to pick up a copy of the night train at Deoli, I think that might be it but I can’t find much out about it in the internet.
If anyone else has any thoughts or recommendations I’m all ears. This has been on my mind for far too long and I really want to get to the bottom of it.

Yeah, I think that's the one, lad. It's from 1988 and pic rel I think is the monkey tale. It's titled The Monkeys. Sounds like they were dahlias rather than daffodils.
