On the night stand / Sur la table de chevet

Great, fun and witty book. Easy read. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't say more but I highly recomend it!

Enjoy!

P.S. At the end of each chapter...a surprise...

On the night stand / Sur la table de chevet

Daughter of the Ganges: A Memoir by Asha Miro

It is an autobiography. The author tells the story of her life in two parts. In the first part, we learn she was adopted in 1974 at the age of six by a Catalan couple. She grows up in Barcelona and wants to return to her roots. She leaves for Bombay to assist the poor. The second part of the book was written after the first bit was published and tells the story when she returns with a television crew to film a documentary retracing her life. There she learns more about her early days...

This is an amazing book. I had goose bumps, I cried...it is definatively a page turner. I strongly recommend you all read it!

Je suis toujours à la recherche de bons bouquins...voici celui que je lis en ce moment (en Anglais...sorry)

I am always on the look for good reads...here is the one I am reading now. I am loving it! It's a light read! It is a collection of short stories about the collison of traditional India and western, high tech influence on Bangalore, the city and its young people.
