Jeffrey has lived all his fourteen years in India. He eats, behaves, talks, thinks like an Indian; he has an Indian name, Ganesh. He is Indian. Forced to go and live with his aunt in America when his father dies, he is a foreigner.

Interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ganesh (Library Binding)
Interesting aulthough highly improbable scenarios are depicted(satyagrah in midwest over family home),not a serious fiction. It can be some what thought provoking, to someone who may not be familiar with eastern/indian philosophy.
