I enjoyed this book, even though I didn't initially expect it to be my cup of tea. The author shares her personal spiritual quest, her struggles in her relationship, and her reluctance to surrender to India's unique enchantments. I appreciated the author's candor about herself and the people of India. While she is sympathetic to those she encounters, she does not hesitate to share the ambiguities and difficulties of this fascinating land. The book gives one a vivid sense of the great amount of physical energy and emotional stamina it takes to really immerse oneself in a foreign society. Enjoyable!
