An Indian Journal

Rating:
Summary: The very best travel writing imaginable.
Review: This book is exactly what a traveler needs and wants to know: What does the place feel like, how does it smell, what is the most foreign element of the place, and what is the most familiar. More than most travel books, this one brings you on the journey. At the end, you have seen the country, become acqainted with some new friends along the way, have discovered in Nicholas Garland a very energetic and observant traveling companion (the best kind), and, unlike many traveling companions, you are in no way eager to be rid of him. The sketches convey just the right sort of casual observation that travelers savor. Please please please, Nicholas Garland, take me with you again.
