Such a lovely collection of essays! I enjoyed every one of them - from Hariharan's childhood experiences growing up in Manila to her experiences in various Indian cities to historical explorations of the places she visits. From Hampi to Ooty in India to marvellous surveys of cities like Tokyo, Algiers, and Córdoba, and ultimately across the West Bank of Palestine, Hariharan provides a wonderful view of each location, each home as it were, filled with historical and cultural context to bring snapshots of each place alive.
