I very much enjoyed this story of the friendship between Alex, a young American woman living in Nepal, and Maya, a young Nepali woman trying to escape life in rural Nepal to build a better life in the city of Kathmandu. Things don't quite work out as planned and Alex is wracked with guilt over introducing Maya to her friend Will, a notorious womanizer who had promised to help Maya. Maya keeps disappearing for mysterious reasons and Alex vows to find her when she hears she is in Bombay. The sense of place is incredible and the book kept me enthralled, even if the characters were sometimes infuriating, and the book had no real resolution, just like real life. The book is full of introspection about love, friendship, the choices we all have to make, and the consequences we have to live with. A memorable book for sure.… (mehr)

It reads like someone's college-aged travel journal, with the embellishment of older perspective. Icky Americans in Nepal and India. Didn't like any of the characters, including the narrator. The whole thing made me feel like I needed a shower. Not even sure why I bothered to finish it--kept hoping for deeper insight. Not so much, I'm afraid.
