A few days in India
Posted by Jackie on August 12, 2007
One of the great joys of reading is the ability to travel the world in books. I spent the last few days immersed in India, reading The Splendor of Silence by Indu Sundaresan, which was a fascinating tale that opened my eyes to a society I knew little about. The story is a compelling combination of war-torn adventure and forbidden love amid the emerging nationalism and prejudice of colonial India during World War II. For more on this historical novel, see the Book Review pages.
