2.0

It took me a long time to go through this book. I love travelling books and memoirs, and I definitely like to read about India, so I was very excited to start reading this book. However I was a little disappointed because for some reason I could not engage with this narrative. To me all the anecdotes and episodes had no palpable connection, and I sometimes lost track of where geographically we were, and even the time scale was not clear to me.

It could have been me, but it did not manage to retain my attention for long.
