I started this book months ago after buying it from the rather meager selection of English books in my little Spanish town. The first few chapters didn't hook me, so I set it aside for weeks, but when I finally picked it up again I found I really enjoyed the book. Swarup has a really beautiful way of describing nature and weaving the stories of animals, plants, rivers, and mountains through the stories of human lives. I liked how each section was connected to the others, and how it came full circle in the end.
