The novel describes man’s search for meaning disguised as a mystery novel. This is a book to read and listen to if you are ready for a journey to India’s ancient wisdom.
Three stories flow independently in this novel, initially disconnected, but they come together at a Hindu temple in Gangotri, ten thousand feet high in the Himalayas. An illiterate farmer goes on a long-desired pilgrimage; a socio-political organization emerges in India to uplift the poor; and an Indian American journeys home in search of the meaning of his life. As they proceed, the protagonists meet many detours, but their journeys through crowded cities, mountain passes, and intriguing mysteries become more than mere physical travel.
On the surface, the actions center on the treasure heist, but underneath, this is a story of a quest for peace in life nurtured by Indian mythological and folk tales, unconditional spiritual devotion, and intercultural romance. They weave a colorful tapestry of overlapping stories. As little tributaries flow together to make a mighty river, each thread in the tapestry is woven to make a beautiful picture with an uplifting conclusion. A Himalayan journey that will touch your soul.
In the words of Barbara Hall, Nibley Green, Gloucestershire, U.K. It is “a brilliant novel, which gives a wonderfully vivid flavour of India with all its idiosyncrasies and contradictions.”
