AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Fleeing his shady Australian past, Aaron Smith travels to India and encounters a murder mystery, witnesses the tragic death of a friend, dodges terrorist attacks and a revolution and befriends a colourful cast of fellow characters fit for a Bollywood flick. More than just a funny and warm 'coming of (middle) age' travel adventure Shanti Bloody Shanti allows the reader to sink into the paradox and beauty of India without drowning in sentiment. It's a bit like Sarah Macdonald's Holy Cow but more dramatic or Gregory David Robert's Shantaram but laugh out loud funny.' (Publisher's abstract)
