"Appreciate the incredible history and culture of India through the fascinating tales of Kerkhoff and Pejathaya. Both write with remarkable feeling as they interweave Indian experiences. Their stories offer a refreshing look at a remarkable country, its people, customs and its maze of religious proclivity. Smell the spicy curries, hear the rattle of the bullock cart and the cries of the street vendors, and feel the dust on your teeth as you encounter the sensations experienced by young Americans being introduced to village life. Pause, to delight in Pejathaya's stories about the elephant that played cricket, or the man they called the "Known Delinquent," or blind Diwaker who was given the best gift of all, and many more."--Cover.
