On a Shoestring to Coorg: Experience of Southern India (Century Travellers)

Customer Reviews

Good Read - By: Kajal Nanaiah, 22 Feb 2003
The book has a special significance for me as i am from coorg. The places & even some people are familiar. The place is still as lovely as the author describes. Written in the casual style of an observant traveller as she traverses from history to culture to hilarity, the book takes you on a wonderful & insightful journey. Although I must admit that some of her observations of the indian character & behavior are typical of certain groups only. Still a wonderful & courageous journey

Meandering through Southern India - By: , 06 Apr 2001
This is an enjoyable read as Murphy explores one of the less frequently visited parts of India. Making light of travelling with her young daughter, Murphy still seeks out the exotic & unusual experiences that make this account of the meandering journey so readable. Murphy is at her best when describing the various landscapes through which she is travelling, whether it is the lush hinterland, the surrounding mountains or a vivid coastal sunset. Her natural disposition makes the conversations with local people vibrant & intriging, as alll of her experiences are revealed to us, good or bad. Finallly, the historical & cultural backgrounds are dealt with quickly & succinctly, leaving the reader time to savour the gentle journeying around a most interesting part of the sub-continent. Murphy's writing is still fresh & relevant today. A gem of a book.
