Review:
I just loved it ... it s whole, it s complete, it s brilliantly written ... very accessible, very warm, very vivid ... The journey, the quest, is such a marvellous theme. We sink into south India, and it s so rich and sensuous. I loved the way it used colour and spices. Angela Bull, prize-winning children s author. Together with the author we are amazed, delighted, sometimes infuriated and bewildered by this encounter and with him we experience both a personal journey and the journey of India from colonial rule to contemporary politics. And the fabric which brings all this together is one seeped in colours, textures and flavours, one that appeals to our body, soul and mind. Olga Taxidou, Reader in English Literature, University of Edinburgh ... a beautiful and compelling piece of writing Tom Bryan, Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellow, York University --Various comments
