Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure by Sarah Macdonald

4.0

I enjoyed this vivid account by an Australian woman who lived in India for a few years. She’s a journalist with a snappy writing style and an eye for detail. She’s cheeky, irreverent, honest about both India’s dreadful bits and its wonderful bits. She’s intellectually curious, but she’s also on a sincere quest for a little spiritual sustenance. So she covers a lot of ground, sampling the wide variety of religions India has to offer. From the gurus to the Parsis, she finds something to admire and respect in each one.
