A ‘;lively travel memoir’ by a woman who journeyed to India in 1973 with her five-year-old daughter (Publishers Weekly). ‘;Irish travel writer and memoirist Murphy has in the past bicycled from Ireland to India and traveled Ethiopia by mule. Here, she recounts a perhaps more daunting adventuretaking her five-year-old daughter wandering through southern India with little money and only what they can carry on their backs… Leaving behind the vividly described poverty of Bombay, the pair head south. Inland from the Malabar Coast, they come upon the lush, remote, comparatively prosperous region of Coorg: local people are curious and hospitable despite the danger of pollution by associating with casteless foreigners… Engaging writing and interesting view of rural India.’ Kirkus Reviews ‘;She is the best kind of traveler: observant, high-spirited, and impervious to discomfort.’ The Sunday Telegraph
