I was fortunate enough to live in India for almost a year and a half, both in Lucknow and Bangalore. During those times I felt deeply in love with the country and its people. I think India is simply fascinating and the more I traveled, I felt more and more amazed by its story. I think this book captures beautifully so many aspects of Delhi - from the Sikhs and muslims inhabitants to the rich mural culture - the book is made out of anecdotes, heavy research and loving characters that accompany the author and his wife, Olivia. A real love letter to a beautiful, complex, hectic and important city like Delhi
