I am in the middle of consuming this. However, a little story. I actually bought this whilst I was in Mumbai from a book seller off the street. I had been dying to read this but wasn’t able to get it before I left London, so I was delighted to grab it whilst I was in the city the story (so far at least!) is based in.

Getting deep into it, as it is a fab read, I felt myself agreeing to everything that he was seeing! Got to the chapter where he and Prabu get of the train to visit the village only to find another chapter printed there! I checked the rest of the book for the missing 20 pages but alas no – i’d been ripped off! It didn’t really matter though as I got straight back into it!

Also another note – my sister and I visited cafe Leopolds after reading that it was one of his haunts. All changed, the floor is super ordinary and that applies to the rest of the place too :-( But amusingly we did spot about 3 different tourists who were reading Shantaram in the cafe!
