Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure by Sarah Macdonald
5.0
I loved this book. Her writing style and narrative voice drew me in because it is very stylised, almost every line is full of beautiful alliteration.
It's very honest and reads as a sort of diary from an Australian westerns perspective about her LIVING in India for many many years.
I thought that was really amazing, it's one thing to travel and another thing to live there, and she does everything to explore that, and try, despite her previous hate for the country. She grows to live it. It's full of a very self depreciating Aussie humor which you can tell was a part of her inner rants. It was very funny and a lot. I mostly read fantasy and it read as this fantastical real life novel with so many cultural and spiritual differences that makes it this whole other exciting world.
