Customer Reviews

Takes you to India.

I've been to India several times, and have a few Indian friends. Moynihan's stories show an insider's knowledge of the country. Read wherever you like and you'll immediately be transported to India. The expat characters are funny, delicious, and anyone who has lived the expat life in Asia will recognise them.

expat India captured

I read the original version of this short story collection published in India. I loved every story. Maura Moynihan captures the uniqueness of expat life in India and the relationships between Indians and Western expats perfectly. On top of that the writing is simply splendid on its own, hence these stories are well worth reading just for the language even if you don't have a strong interest in India.
