Welcome to Litsy!

Next best thing to traveling in India. 😎

I loved the premise behind the book: a train journey around India. However, I didn't care for the writing style. The descriptions were interesting but didn't provide much insight.

It's appropriate that the book is about travel, as this copy happens to be a travelling #BookCrossing book that a fellow BookCrosser sent to me.

This was a new genre for me with a new author and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book. If you‘re ever embarking on a train journey through India this is the book you need to read

Over a banana lassi, we watched as scores of teenagers ran through the streets flinging colours in the air, heralding the change of season when new shoots grew, buds burst open and winter was forgotten.

I saw the author of this book at Cheltenham Literature Festival last week, talking about her new book, Around the World In 80 Trains. I ended up buying both books, they may inspire me to finally get my bum into gear and sort out a trip to my father‘s birthplace in India! Meanwhile, we have gorgeous sunshine and mild temperatures today, a bit of an #IndianSummer!
