"Why
India?"
"Because I wanted to go somewhere really
different." Escaping winter's
chill and darkness is June's plan. A
summer's child who feels stuck in the wrong turn
of life, she boards a plane for Mumbai, India.
Unexpectedly, India greets her with an easy
arrival. Her adventures lead her from the
street mazes of Mumbai to the endless beaches of
Goa, from the Hindu temples of Hampi to the Mogul
palaces of Mysore. On the way, June encounters
locals and travellers, Gods and beggars. Before
long she finds herself on an inner journey as
well, facing questions about herself and changing
as a result of her experiences.
Based
on her own journeys through Asia, Dorothee Lang
weaves an inspiring travel novel that includes
ancient and modern myths, lessons of karma, and
hints to find the beauty inside the chaos.
