Fun easy read about living in India. Helped me prepare for traveling in India.

I just loved this book, one of my favs. Great writing from MacDonald as she explores Indian culture and faith.

Loved this book, wouldn't mind reading it again.

This is a great book about India, written by an Australian woman, she talks about her experiences with different Indian religions

Recommend this book to everyone!

Read while In India. Fun memoir

This book lost steam halfway through. Macdonald gets bogged down in exploring the intricacies of all the different religions in India and lost my attention. I thought she adopted a rather superior tone towards Americans, which was annoying, though possibly understandable given the 9/11 time frame of this book. Overall, there were lots of funny and moving bits, and Macdonald presented an engaging side of India that almost made me want to visit - and that's saying a lot, considering how misanthropic I can be :)

A friend gave this to me because she experienced almost everything in this book while she visited India herself. It was an interesting read, but not the best book ever.
