review 1: Anuradha paints a beautiful picture of a peaceful hill station with her eloquent use of words. On one hand we have a woman nursing her past and on the other we have a pretty girl experiencing the sweet joy of love for the first time. Complete with a pompous old timer from pre-independence India era ,a lunatic who only talks to animals, a determined Colonel and a dashing mysterious mountaineer.The novel is not only a visual delight of words but also a feast to the literary nature of a person. A must read!

Unfortunately I did not like the main character very much, and it's not just me - nobody in my book club liked her either. I was hoping she would go thro... moreugh some kind of transformation at the end of the book so that she could find some happiness in her life but let's just say she remained consistently crusty. less
