All Roads Lead To Ganga

This collection brings together the author's accounts of travelling through India, with a particular attachment to the Ganga and the hills and plains it runs through. Moving between trains, roads and small towns, the pieces recall the places he has passed through and the people he met along the way. Personal and unhurried, they blend memory with close attention to landscape and everyday life. Each chapter stands on its own, so the book suits short sittings as well as a straight read, offering a gentle portrait of a lifelong traveller's affection for the river and the country around it.
