Journalist Gee left Los Angeles behind, looking for a new life abroad. When she landed in hectic Hong Kong, she lived a life of luxury, decked out in designer clothing and hobnobbing at swank parties with the rest of the city's jet set. But deep down, Gee knew something was missing, and when she met soulful fellow journalist Ajay, a correspondent from India, the sparks flew. Gee embarked on a journey she never expected—one that brought her to an Indian palace, a new family, and a much-needed reconciliation with the past. After she let the sights, sounds, and tastes of India take over, Gee was able to find an authenticity in living a more simple, humble, and full life.
VERDICT Like Eat, Pray, Love but with more heart and less sulking, Gee's story of Mokimpur, India, is insightful without being pretentious. This book manages to be dazzlingly romantic and yet still very real; a unique and uplifting read that's as much about traveling to India as it is about finding happiness.
