Virgiliu Andone Andone itibaren Sarai Jagarnath, Uttar Pradesh, Indien
One of my favourite non-fiction books. Beautiful language, captivating vignettes, vivid descriptions of places and people. I really can rave and rave about this book. I read one chapter from this book a while ago as required reading for one of my college lit classes. I loved that chapter so much that I went and bought the book, but it took me a while to get to it. This is not a book about the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is not a book about Jerusalem. And it is not a book about Adina Hoffman. It's a book about living and adapting to a foreign city and culture, and the steady rhythm of everyday live. Lovely read.
