Dorcas’s Reviews > India Treasures : An Epic Novel of Rajasthan and Northern India through the Ages > Status Update

Just finished reading about a tragic love story between a painter and childhood sweetheart. At her death he wanders the land seeking escape from his memories and in eventually finds closure in painting a mural in a monk's cell. I'm savoring this book...

Still awesome! I just finished reading about an elephant driver. I have a new appreciation for Indian elephants now. They're so sensitive and responsive to their trainers. The way the author writes make you not only feel for the elephant but THINK like one. And the boy who trained him was remarkable. A real "rags to riches " story. It actually made me think of the Biblical account of Joseph. Excellent book so far!
