Summary:  It would take many lifetimes, it was said to me during my first visit, to see all of India. I recall an anxiety as I travelled the length and breadth of the country, senses raw to every new experience, that even in the distraction of a blink I might miss something profoundly significant. I was not born in India, nor were my parents; that might explain much in my expectation of that visit. Yet how many people go to the homeland of their grandparents with such a heartload of expectation and momentousness; such a desire to find themselves in everything they see? Is it only India that clings thus, to those who’ve forsaken it; is this why Indians in a foreign land seem always so desperate to seek each other out? What was India to me?--From publisher description. Awards:  Winner of the Governor General's Award for NonFiction (English), 2009. Genre:  Travel memoirs.
