In 1977, Zorza's daughter, Jane, lost her battle with cancer and died in the "Sir Michael Sobell House" hospice. The experience of losing their daughter led to Victor and Rosemary writing an article for The Guardian called "Death of a Daughter".[4] The article was read with much interest and in 1981, they published "A Way to Die", a book detailing their experiences.[5] During a visit to India, Jane had challenged Victor to leave the world of international relations, and instead inform the world about the struggle to survive in the poverty of the developing world. Perhaps partly in tribute to Jane's concern for the poor, Victor went to India, and lived in a remote village in the north called Lakhamandal, accessible only by a precarious hand-pulled cable car across the fast flowing Jamuna River. He wrote a regular column in The Guardian called "Village Voice" in which he turned his keen analytical skills from the world stage to the equally complicated and intriguing interpersonal and inter-caste relationships in the village.
