This was the book which started my interest in India; this interest then shaped my whole life and gave me my best friends, the most amazing people in the world.

J'ai choisi ce livre malgré le résumé pas forcément super car je voulais lui laisser une chance puisque j'aime beaucoup tout ce qui se passe en Inde.
Ce fut une bonne surprise car l'histoire était bien mieux que ce que le résumé laissait imaginer (il faut dire, il n'est vraiment pas top, ce résumé...). Les sentiments des personnages sont un peu rapides à évoluer, ils tombent un peu amoureux sans qu'on ait de réelle évolution, mais cela ne nuit pas à l'histoire globale car il se passe trop de choses pour qu'on puisse s'attarder sur chaque couple du livre.
Bref, une bonne surprise et je recommande le livre.
