I wanted to love this book; since I read Mark Twain's Travel book, Following the Equator, I wanted to read something else about India. A novel seemed perfect.
But not this one. It is one of those "pages by the pound" novels where it seems a book worth 200 pages by its plot somehow expands to 500 pages.
Not only did it not pass the 30-page test, I could not make it past page 23.
Sad. It had potential. And I feel dejected when I cannot wrap my mind around some novel I'd like to enjoy.
