Editorial Reviews
>> The Los Angeles Times
"It is a sad, hilarious, rueful tale and Mehta tells it with a rich fund of irony, satire, acerbic wit and insight." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Review
"A witty documentary satire... In only 201 pages Mehta embraces an enormous variety of life and death. Her style is light without being flip; her skepticism never descends to cynicism. Given her subject this is a miracle of rationalism and taste."
Time
"It's as if Tom Wolfe had gone to India, changed his white suit for a dirty dhoti, and freaked out by the sacred ghats.... There are enough crazy characters, stories and wild scenes here for several novels, and the entire book offers what must be the real juice and color of modern India seen from the inside."
Library Journal
"Ms. Mehta writes about the clash of Eastern and Western cultures... earthy wit that the reader's interest is instantly engaged."
Baltimore Sun "Mehta's message is ... that the best things in each culture are the hardest won, over the longest time and at greatest pain...how in the movement from one culture to another, much of a generation lost its sense that life has any values at all."
