“Hi Beenzzz! Noted your comment about not liking the cover of the book. Its interesting because it looks as if the earlier version differed...same depiction but without the sunglasses. Jaiganesh, sorry, I have never met Sarah McDonald personally, but I first became acquainted with the book when I was listening to an interview she gave about her experience in India as well as her reflections on writing the book, and I found her narrative very moving and sweet. That was in March 2003, and at the time she was a journalist for ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp). The interview was on ABC's Radio National, but it no longer has a pod cast of the interview. That's too bad, as I would have liked to share it with you, but it has been some years ago now and I guess its not reasonable to expect them to keep the links indefinately. And Nathan - yes. Well said. India is like that for those of us who are not native to her. ”
“I am half way through this book now, and though I still don't like the cover, it makes sense to me why it looks the way it does. I'm enjoying this so far. It reminds me so much of my visit to India. ”
